If clear crystal are bonded by temperature particles, where the intermolecular (interatomic) bonds that holds the crystal together involve only T+ and T− particles, then either the nuclei so bonded lose the outer p+ layer or gain a g+ and a T+ layer.
In the former case and in the case of atomic crystal unit cells, the nulcei would have transmuted to an element one left along a horizontal period of the periodic table. A crystal made from Cu, behave like Ni in the lattice.
In the former but in the case of molecular crystal unit cells, the molecule quasi nucleus as a whole loses one p+ layer. The final "transmuted" molecule is that which appears as the chemical composition associated with the crystal. For example ruby, Al2O3:Cr gives the transmuted repeating unit of the crystal. AlSiO3 is the simplest likely starting molecule. The AlSi pair loses a singular unpaired proton layer that is above the three paired oxygen, O proton orbits. The exposed T+ orbit that previously provided for the weak field that held the escaped proton acquires a T− particle and pairs up with another unit. The paired (T+,T−) bond links up with other paired units and we have a crystal lattice.
AlSi is above O3, when the crystal collapses as in the case of magnetite (post "Split, Stir And Charged" dated 17 Aug 2017), O3→Cr, Chromium is formed.
If this is true, to form Ruby we have to first help the lone outer proton in Al2O3 to escape and then cools it with T− particles and lastly encourage the paired (T+,T−) bonds re-orientate and link up into a lattice.
Bloody hell, not. AlSi has an extra g+ particle that cannot be removed without also removing the T+ particle that forms crystal bonds. The crystal unit is with an isotope of Al and is denser (more mass as the result of one more g− particles that balance the g+ particle in the nucleus) than natural ruby.
Natural ruby without an isotopes and without the resulting density anomaly is likely to have a quasi nuclei Al2O3 that has acquired first an extra g+ layer followed by a T+ layer.
What about diamonds?
