Quartz (Silicon dioxide SiO<sub>2</sub>) is one of the most common minerals found in the Earth's crust. If pure, quartz forms colorless, transparent and very hard crystals with a glass-like luster. This natural form of silicon dioxide is found in a great range of varieties and colours. Quartz occurs in two basic forms: 1. The more common macrocrystalline quartz is made of visible crystals or grains (e.g. rock crystal, amethyst, citrine). 2. Microcrystalline quartz is made of dense and compact aggregates of microscopic quartz crystals, e.g. Agate, and are colloquially subsumed under the term chalcedony ('''[[lig bu mig]]''')  (mindat.org). <br>
dGa ba'i rDo rje (1998) mentions clear and opaque forms of ''quartz'', and of the opaque form different coloured ones, according to the environment. The form in question here is the opaque and white one. It occurs in two varieties. The very white without stain is called '''dkar gong srin med'''. If it is blueish-white and includes other minerals like iron ore etc, which give patterns, it is called '''dkar gong srin can'''. <br>
''Quartz'' (Silicon dioxide SiO<sub>2</sub>) is one of the most common minerals found in the Earth's crust. If pure, ''quartz'' forms colorless, transparent and very hard crystals with a glass-like luster. As significant component of many rocks it is found in wide range of varieties and colours. It occurs in two basic forms: 1. The more common ''macrocrystalline quartz'' is made of visible crystals or grains (e.g. rock crystal, amethyst, citrine). 2. ''Microcrystalline quartz'' is made of dense and compact aggregates of microscopic quartz crystals, e.g. ''agate'', and are colloquially subsumed under the term ''chalcedony'' (see '''[[mchong]]''' for further details)  (mindat.org). <br>

dGa ba'i rDo rje (1998) mentions clear and opaque forms of quartz, and of the opaque form different coloured ones, according to the environment. The form in question here is the opaque and white one. It occurs in two varieties. The very white without stain is called dkar gong srin med. If it is blueish-white and includes other minerals like iron ore etc, which give patterns, it is called dkar gong srin can.
