At the same show the Ziga Mineral company offered the exceptional faden quartz specimen featured in this column (fig. 1). Quartz, more precisely known as low quartz or alphaquartz, is the common, low-temperature and low-pressure polymorph of "silica," SiO2. It occurs as colorless to smoky...

Quartz sand, commonly known assilica sand, is a chemically inert substance whose primary function is to fill internal pores and withstand internalstress gradientscaused by various factors such as shrinkage and freeze-thawing. Quartz sand contains a large amount of SiO2 that is connected together in ...
High grade silica (99.5-99.9% SiO2) and high purity silica (>99.95% SiO2) currently have a wide range of applications. All indications suggest the high grade and high purity silica market is currently growing strongly due to greater demand from the ...
Corundum-quartz metastability: the influence of a nanometer-sized phase on mineral equilibria in the system Al 2 O 3 –SiO 2 –H 2 OExperimentalMetastabilityCorundumQuartzNanolayersAluminium–silicatesThe metastable paragenesis of corundum and quartz is rare in nature but common in laboratory ...
The matrix materials in the deformable porous media are made up of either one single mineral or several minerals. For example, quartz sandstones are mainly composed of quartz (SiO2), while greywacke is composed of quartz, feldspar, mica, clay, and other minerals. Due to the different hardness...
It is the national gem of Scotland, and their national scepter contains a large Smoky Quartz crystal on top. General Information: Chemistry: SiO2, Silicon Dioxide. Class: Tectosilicates. Group: Quartz Color: Brown to gray to black. Luster: Vitreous. Crystal System: Hexagonal-Rhombohedral; ...
Of these, volume change is thought to be prominent in quartz, but less significant for calcite even for neutron fluence reaching 1.0 × 1020 n/cm2 (E > 0.1 MeV)31,32. Broadly, the disordering or the amorphization of mineral aggregates is expected to result in ...
Chemistry: SiO2 Class: Silicates. Subclass: Tectosilicates. Group: Quartz Color: Most commonly clear (Rock Crystal), but also found abundantly in whites (Milky or Snow Quartz), grays or browns to blacks (Smoky Quartz), pinks (Rose Quartz), purples (Amethyst), yellows to oranges (Citr...
Arkansas State Mineral Quartz Crystal (SiO2) Adopted in 1967. Thequartz crystal, (SiO2,)was adopted as the Arkansas State Mineral by the General Assembly of 1967. Quartz crystals are mined in the Ouachita Mountains and are used in computers and sold to visitors to our state. Sometimes called...
