Pretty much how Quartz is formed (For Dummies) is when Silicon (Si) and Oxygen (O2) combine it will form the element Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) which is Quartz. Now this is a very basic explanation, when you get in more detail it becomes more complicated and longer explanation.
It is highly resistant to weathering and tends to concentrate in sandstones and other detrital rocks.
