Quartz (Silicon dioxide SiO2) 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).
