Quartz is a hard, crystalline mineral composed of silicon and oxygen (SiO₂) and is one of the most abundant minerals in the Earth's crust. Its unique properties, including its hardness and resistance to weathering, make it a key component in various geological processes and a significant rock-forming mineral. Quartz also plays an important role in understanding mineral formation, classification, and the structure of Earth's lithosphere.
