Quartz crystal, often simply referred to as quartz, is a mineral composed of silicon and oxygen atoms structured in a continuous framework of SiO4 tetrahedra, with each oxygen atom shared between two tetrahedra, producing the chemical formula SiO2. Ranking as the second most prevalent mineral in Earth’s continental crust after feldspar, quartz presents itself in a variety of forms and hues, including transparent rock crystal, violet amethyst, golden citrine, and delicate pink rose quartz. Its hexagonal crystalline structure is distinguished by piezoelectric properties, allowing it to generate an electric charge in response to mechanical pressure.
