Quartz

Quartz is the second most common mineral on the Earth's surface and is the most common silica crystal. It is found in abundance in almost all types of rocks. Quartz is generally transparent or translucent depending on its composition and is used extensively in glassmaking and ceramics. In addition, its industrial-strength, non-reactive properties and silicon dioxide contribution make it an essential raw material for producing many essential items.
