Small amounts of stishovite were separated from specimens of explosively shocked sandstones, novaculite, and single-crystal quartz. Estimated peak pressures for the syntheses ranged from 150 to 280 kilobars, and shock temperatures were from 150 degrees to 900 degrees C. No coesite was detected in any sample. It is suggested that quartz can invert during shock to a short-range-order phase, with sixfold coordination. A small portion of this phase may develop the long-range order of stishovite, and, during the more protracted decrease of the pressure pulse through the stability field of coesite accompanying meteorite crater formation, a portion may invert to coesite.
从小麦石英冲击砂岩石、堇青石和单晶石英标本中分离出少量斯石英。估计合成的峰值压力范围为 150 至 280 千巴，冲击温度范围为 150 至 900 摄氏度。在任何样品中都未检测到柯石英。据推测，石英在冲击过程中可以转变为短程有序相，具有六配位。该相的一小部分可能会发展为斯石英的长程有序，并且在陨石坑形成过程中伴随着柯石英稳定场的压力脉冲的更长时间的下降过程中，一部分可能会反转成柯石英。
