Clear quartz with Red stoneQUARTZ – ( clear) Silicon dioxide. The name may be derived from querklufterz an old German word apparently referring to whitish, vein quartz. It is one of the most widely distributed minerals in the earth’s crust, sometimes found as elegant crystals whose luster, hardness (Moh's scale is a 7.0), and watery transparency or, conversely, pleasing colors have long been a source of fascination, causing it to be widely employed as a gem or ornamental material.
The most typical form consists of hexagonal, prismatic crystals with pyramidal or bipyramidal terminations, which are transparent, colorless, lustrous, and have no cleavage; but quartz may have a smoky appearance or even be black, yellow, brownish yellow, violet, or pink. Massive, white, milky vein quartz is very common. A microcrystalline variety of quartz, found as compact, massive concretions, is called chalcedony. This has separate colors, sometimes with distinct color banding, in which case it is known as agate, sard, cornelian, plasma, etc., depending on the color, a whole series of names having been evolved during its long history as a decorative material.
The largest crystals originate from the fluids associated with intrusive magmatic phenomena and is found in pegmatic, pneumatolytic and hydrothermal deposits. Quartz also occurs in sedimentary and metamorphic environments, but as very small crystals. The microcrystalline varieties are often associated with hydrothermal processes, even under the sea.
Quartz is extremely widespread, the most famous localities for magnificent, large crystals being the French Alps, the St. Gotthard massif in the Swiss Alps, the United States, Brazil, and Madagascar.
