Quartz Crystal (commonly called quartz) is a mineral composed of silicon and oxygen (SiO₂), arranged in a continuous framework of silicon–oxygen tetrahedra. It is the second most abundant mineral in Earth’s continental crust, after feldspar. Quartz occurs in a wide variety of forms and colors, including clear rock crystal, purple amethyst, yellow citrine, and pink rose quartz.
Quartz crystals have a distinct hexagonal structure and are highly valued not only for their beauty but also for their unique piezoelectric properties, which allow them to generate an electric charge when subjected to mechanical stress. These properties make quartz essential in both scientific and industrial applications, while its natural variations make it a favorite among collectors and jewelers alike.
