   Quartz is a hard, crystalline mineral composed of silica (silicon dioxide). The atoms are linked in a continuous framework of SiO 4 silicon–oxygen tetrahedra, with each oxygen being shared between two tetrahedra, giving an overall chemical formula of SiO 2. Quartz is, therefore, classified structurally as a framework silicate mineral and ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argentite

   In mineralogy, argentite (from Latin argentum ' silver') is cubic silver sulfide (Ag 2 S), which can only exist at temperatures above 173 °C (343 °F), [1] 177 °C (351 °F), [2] or 179 °C (354 °F). [3] When it cools to ordinary temperatures it turns into its monoclinic polymorph, acanthite. [2][3] The International Mineralogical Association ...
