Quartz is the second most common mineral in the Earth's continental crust.
It is mainly composed of Silica or Silica based minerals. Although Quartz
is known by a variety of names, the most important distinction between types
of Quartz is that of macro-crystalline, individual crystals visible to the
unaided eye, and micro-crystalline, where aggregates of crystals are only
visible under high magnification. There are many forms of Quartz including
Chalcedony, Amethyst, Citrine, and Carnelian which are results of mineral
impurities or heat treatments.
