  Synthetic Periclase
Magnesia (MgO) = periclase has high melting point and it is highly resistant for ablation by basic slag or molten metals, and because of these features, periclase powder has been used as a fireproof brick for long period.
A single crystal of periclase became in use as an optical material, a host material of solid-state laser or a substrate for ferroelectric thin film.
Synthetic periclase for jewellery has a long history and its literature goes back as old as 1969, in which the material had been sold by the name “Lavernite” in the States at the time.

 PERICLASE (Magnesium Oxide)
Periclase is sometimes used as a gemstone although it lacks good hardness and is generally limited in colors.
Periclase is isostructural with halite, NaCl, which has simple cubic packing and produces cubic and octahedral crystals.
Specimens of periclase can be very attractive as brightly lustered, smoothly faceted crystals projecting out of the otherwise formless rough marble host rock.

 Magnesite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Magnesite can also be formed from metasomatism in skarn deposits, in dolomitic limestones, associated with wollastonite, periclase, and talc.
Magnesite can be used as a slag former in steelmaking furnaces, in conjunction with lime, in order to protect the magnesium oxide lining.
Such periclase is an important produc in refractory materials.

 rietveld_l-1997: Re: RIR - periclase as standard   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Be wary that MgO (periclase) does hydrate in air to form MgOH2 (brucite)
The more finely divided it is, the faster the hydration would occur.
Nice, facetted single crystals of Periclase tend to go a cloudy colour

 Periclase Structures
The periclase group is composed of the mon-oxide minerals of magnesium (periclase), iron (wustite), calcium (lime), manganese (manganosite) and nickel (bunsenite).
The crystal structure is that of halite (rocksalt) and is composed of two interpenetrating FCC lattices of cation and oxygen.
