What is quartz?
Quartz is a naturally occurring silicate mineral composed of silicon dioxide (SiO2). Its hardness is 7 on the Mohs scale and it is in the trigonal crystal system. Quartz possesses a glassy luster and does not exhibit cleavage. The average specific gravity of quartz is 2.62. Quartz can be found in all three rock types, igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary. Quartz has a white streak, but specimens can be appear colored by impurities or exposure to heat or radiation to hues of white, pink, red, orange, yellow, blue, green, black, smokey, milky, or purple.Quartz is a mineral, chemical composition of silicon dioxide, one of the most common minerals on the planet.
