In nature, SiF4 and similar exotic gases and compounds are used in residual magma to form pegmatites.They are mainly concentrated light and rare
elements,elements that volatilize at high temperatures with water vapor from the magma and cannot be used in the main crystallization of magma. These
are boron,lithium and beryllium and lead to the formation of gems such as aquamarine, morganite, coloured tourmaline-elbaite,topaz... There could be a
pegmatite planet somewhere in the Universe full of beautiful gems! And I believe it does exist, I'm just sorry that it hasn't been discovered yet and
I can't go there...
