About Quartz
Quartz is silicon dioxide and one of the most abundant minerals in the crust. As a gem it spans an enormous range, from colourless rock crystal to amethyst, citrine and smoky quartz. At Mohs 7 it resists everyday scratching well. You can read more via gemmological reference.
Quartz crystallises from silica-rich fluids in veins, pegmatites and cavities, and is stable enough to survive weathering that destroys most other minerals. That durability is why quartz dominates ordinary sand.

Frequently Asked Questions
How big is this specimen?
It measures 44 x 30 x 15 mm and weighs 16.7 grams. Those figures were taken from this piece, so use them rather than judging scale from the photographs.

Place this specimen on a stable shelf or inside a mineral display cabinet away from direct, harsh sunlight. Avoid high-traffic areas where it might be knocked against harder objects.
Is this quartz specimen fragile?
Quartz has a reliable hardness on the Mohs scale, but sharp crystal terminations can still chip if dropped on a hard surface. Handle the specimen with care by its base.
How do I clean dust from the crystal?
Remove dust using a soft, dry brush or a gentle puff of air. For more thorough cleaning, wash the specimen in lukewarm water with mild soap and dry it thoroughly.
