Quartz Crystal, often simply called quartz, is a mineral composed of silicon and oxygen atoms arranged in a continuous framework of SiO₄ tetrahedra, with each oxygen atom shared between two tetrahedra. This structure gives quartz its overall chemical formula, SiO₂.
Quartz is the second most abundant mineral in Earth’s continental crust, surpassed only by feldspar. It occurs in a wide variety of forms and colors, from the clear transparency of rock crystal to the vibrant hues of amethyst (purple), citrine (yellow), and rose quartz (pink).
Belonging to the hexagonal crystal system, quartz crystals often grow as prismatic hexagonal forms with pointed ends. They are highly valued for their piezoelectric properties—the ability to generate an electric charge when subjected to mechanical stress—which makes quartz essential in electronics, precision instruments, and timekeeping devices.
