[6]Alkali feldspar granite is used as construction material in the form of dimension stones, and polished slabs or tiles for building facades, pavements, and kitchen countertops.
A quartz fiber dosimeter, a device using a quartz fiber.. Since quartz fiber is expensive, it has limited applications. [2] It is used mainly for producing composite materials (due to having higher stability compared to glass fiber) and in electrical applications where thermal resistance and dielectric properties are important.
