ORIGIN: Egypt

Quartz is a chemical compound consisting of one part silicon and two parts oxygen. It is silicon dioxide (SiO2).

It is the most abundant mineral found at Earth’s surface and its unique properties make it one of the most useful natural substances.

Quartz Properties

It is most varied in terms of varieties, colors and forms. Of all the minerals, quartz is closest to a pure chemical compound and has constant physical properties.
It is hard, chemically inert and has a high melting point, attributable to the strength of the bonds between the atoms and extremely resistant to weathering.
These are prized qualities in applications like foundries and filtration systems.
Quartz may be transparent to translucent and has a vitreous luster, hence it is used in glass and ceramics.
Quartz’s strength, silicon dioxide contribution and non-reactive properties make it an indispensable ingredient in the production of thousands of everyday products.
