Crystal Quartz
Crystal Quartz
Crystal Quartz is a hard, crystalline mineral composed of silicon and oxygen atoms, with the chemical formula SiO₂ (silicon dioxide). It is one of the most abundant and widely distributed minerals on the Earth's surface, found in a variety of geological environments. Quartz is notable for its hardness, which is 7 on the Mohs scale, indicating its ability to scratch glass and its resistance to being scratched by most other materials.
Applications of Quartz
Industrial Uses
Electronics and Technology
Quartz is used in the manufacture of semiconductors and silicon chips for electronic devices.
High-purity quartz is used in the production of fiber optics and other optoelectronic components.
Quartz crystals are used in electronic oscillators to maintain precise frequencies for clocks, radios, and computers.
Gemstone Varieties: Quartz occurs in many attractive forms such as amethyst, citrine, rose quartz, and smoky quartz, which are used as gemstones in jewelry.
Scientific Instruments
Due to its clarity and stability, quartz is used in the manufacture of lenses, prisms, and other optical components for scientific instruments.
Quartz glass is used for high-temperature laboratory equipment, such as crucibles and reaction vessels, because of its thermal resistance.
