Quartz is a mineral and is often referred to as deep quartz or α quartz. Quartz crystallises when SiO2-rich melts cool down. It is the main component of plutonites, which especially contain SiO2. They are also found in volcanites. Quartz is a hard mineral with a Mohs hardness of 7. This mineral often forms well-developed crystals, which can vary in form and colour. Due to the variety of colours quartz is a very popular gemstone.The crystal surfaces show the same gloss as glass. Quartz is known to have no fissionability. Other properties of this mineral are that it breaks conchoidally just like glass. The fractured surfaces are characterized by a greasy gloss. quartz is one of the most important minerals in industry. It is used both as a building material and as a raw material. The ceramic and glass industries in particular use quartz because of its optimum properties. Quartz is also used in the cement industry. The fine quartz sand is used to produce silicon quartz crystals can also be produced artificially. Examples of this are the cut quartz crystals. These are used as clock generators for both electronically controlled circuits and special quartz watches.
