Quartz

Quartz is one of the most abundant and versatile minerals on Earth, known for its clarity, durability, and wide range of natural forms. It can appear transparent, translucent, or opaque, and occurs in many varieties and colors depending on impurities and growth conditions.

Because of its hardness and stability, Quartz is widely used for polished stones, crystals, decorative objects, and collector specimens. Its clean structure and natural beauty make it a foundational mineral in both geology and everyday life.

✨ Fact & Fun Fact:
Quartz is composed of silicon dioxide (SiO₂) and ranks 7 on the Mohs hardness scale. It forms in many geological environments, including igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks. Quartz is essential in modern technology — it is used in watches and electronics because it vibrates at a precise frequency when an electric current is applied.
