2. Quartz - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartz

   A synthetic quartz crystal grown by the hydrothermal method, about 19 centimetres (7.5 in) long and weighing about 127 grams (4.5 oz) Not all varieties of quartz are naturally occurring. Some clear quartz crystals can be treated using heat or gamma-irradiation to induce color where it would not otherwise have occurred naturally. Susceptibility ...

3. Fused quartz - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fused_quartz

   Fused quartz, fused silica or quartz glass is a glass consisting of almost pure silica (silicon dioxide, SiO 2) in amorphous (non- crystalline) form. This differs from all other commercial glasses, such as soda-lime glass, lead glass, or borosilicate glass, in which other ingredients are added which change the glasses' optical and physical ...

5. Quartz crystal microbalance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartz_crystal_microbalance

   A quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) (also known as quartz microbalance (QMB), sometimes also as quartz crystal nanobalance (QCN)) measures a mass variation per unit area by measuring the change in frequency of a quartz crystal resonator. The resonance is disturbed by the addition or removal of a small mass due to oxide growth/decay or film ...

6. Quartzite - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartzite

   Quartzite is a very hard rock composed predominantly of an interlocking mosaic of quartz crystals. The grainy, sandpaper-like surface is glassy in appearance. Minor amounts of former cementing materials, iron oxide, silica, carbonate and clay, often migrate during recrystallization, causing streaks and lenses to form within the quartzite. [1 ...

7. Prasiolite - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prasiolite

   Prasiolite (also known as green quartz, green amethyst or vermarine) is a green variety of quartz. Since 1950, almost all natural prasiolite has come from a small Brazilian mine, [ citation needed ] but it has also been mined in the Lower Silesia region of Poland .
