Quartz, known as Crystalline Silica, is a mineral with a crystalline structure composed of silicon dioxide. It is the most prevalent mineral found on the surface of the Earth and the second most common mineral present in the Earth’s crust.

The abundance of quartz in the sandy terrain of beaches and deserts can be attributed to its exceptional resistance to mechanical and chemical erosion.

Quartz is typically found in mineral formations in varying degrees and can also be discovered in sand deposits, as well as in high-purity crystal deposits.
