Quartz is one of the most common minerals in nature, composed mainly of silica (SiO₂). It comes in a wide variety of colors, shapes and combinations, making it an essential mineral for any mineral collector. Its wide geographical distribution and unique properties make it essential both in its pure form and in combinations with other minerals.

Characteristics of Quartz

These properties make quartz a very versatile and resistant mineral, making it a favorite among collectors.

Chemical composition

Quartz is a silicon dioxide (SiO₂). Its crystalline structure is composed of a tetrahedron of silicon and oxygen. This chemical formula is the same for all varieties of quartz, which
What varies is the presence of impurities that provide different colors.

Hardness

It has a hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale, which makes it resistant to scratches. Thanks to this property, quartz is a durable mineral and perfect for collectors, as it resists wear and the passage of time well.

Color

It varies from colorless to different shades, depending on the inclusions or impurities present. It can come in shades of purple (amethyst), pink (rose quartz), yellow (citrine), green (green quartz) or brown (smoky quartz). The colors result from the inclusion of elements such as iron, titanium, manganese or aluminum.

Crystalline system

Quartz has a trigonal crystal system, meaning its crystals have a hexagonal symmetry. Its most common crystalline form is the hexagonal prism ending in a six-sided pyramid.

Fracture

Quartz has a conchoidal fracture, which means that when broken, it forms curved and smooth surfaces, similar to those of a shell. This property is characteristic of minerals with a compact and uniform crystalline structure.

Glow

Quartz has a glassy shine, giving it a unique visual appeal. In its purest crystalline form, it reflects light in a way that creates a shiny, translucent effect. This shine is maintained even in varieties of quartz with impurities.

Varieties of quartz

Quartz has many varieties, each with unique characteristics, colors and properties that make them special and appreciated. Some of the most notable varieties include:
