2. Rutilated quartz - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rutilated_quartz

   Rutilated quartz used as a gemstone. Rutilated quartz is a variety of quartz which contains acicular (needle-like) inclusions of rutile. [ 1] It is used for gemstones. These inclusions mostly look golden, but they also can appear silver, copper red or black. The inclusions may be distributed randomly or in bundles, which sometimes are arranged ...

3. Quartz monzonite - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartz_monzonite

   Quartz monzonite. Quartz monzonite is an intrusive, felsic, igneous rock that has an approximately equal proportion of orthoclase and plagioclase feldspars. It is typically a light colored phaneritic (coarse-grained) to porphyritic granitic rock. The plagioclase is typically intermediate to sodic in composition, andesine to oligoclase.

4. 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. 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]

6. Penistone - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penistone

   The town was renowned for its Penistone cloth (or "forest white"), a rough, home-spun cloth. [7] In a law passed in 1601 ( 43 Eliz. 1 cap. 10 ) regulating the working of cloth, penalties were set out for weavers found to be making Penistone cloth of inferior quality. [ 8 ]

7. Quartz - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartz

   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 ...
