What is Quartz? |
Quartz is the most common simple mineral in the earth's crust and the main constituent of many igneous and metamorphic rocks. Because quartz is so hard, it does not fracture easily. More often than not, quartz is found as a major component in most sedimentary rocks and is rare in rocks of biological or chemical origin. Although quartz itself is colorless, impurities can give it a rich color ranging from purple amethyst to yellow citrine. |
