CLEAR QUARTZ
DETAILS
Quartz is a silicon dioxide mineral and is part of the silicate family. It is the most abundant mineral found at Earth's surface. It can be found in deposits all throughout the world. It forms at all temperatures and therefore can be found within igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary settings. It can be found along sandy beaches, river beds, and mountain tops. It is highly resistant to all sorts of weathering which is why it can be found amongst so many different environments. Quartz ranks a seven on the Mohs Scale of hardness and its durability makes it useful in everyday products. One amazing property of quartz is its ability to vibrate at a precise frequency. This property is what allows quartz to be used in time-keeping instruments such as clocks, radios, televisions, cell phones, and GPS equipment. It has piezoelectric and heat resistant properties, making it the dominant source of power in electronic products. It plays an important role in the making of glass and optical-grade quartz crystals are used to make lenses, lasers, microscopes, and telescopes. Quartz crystals are sought after in jewelry and mineral specimen collections. Notable quartz deposits can be found in Brazil, Africa, the Swiss Alps, New York, Arkansas, Pennsylvania, Nevada, and California.
