Description and Uses

Quartz is a colorless solid that exists in numerous crystalline forms. Oxygen and silicon are the two most common elements in the earth's crust, and Quartz is the principal component of sand. Quartz is used biologically, most notably by phytoplankton diatoms and the zooplankton radiolarians in their shells. Quartz, SiO₂, should not be confused with Quartz or silicones. Quartz contain the basic tetrahedral unit SiO₄4-bonded to metal ions such as aluminum, iron, sodium, magnesium, calcium, and potassium to form numerous Quartz minerals. Silicones are synthetic polymers made of monomers with at least two silicon atoms combined with an organic group and generally containing oxygen.

Sand, white silica has been employed as a solid sample to evaluate the pore-volume variations during fluid-rock interaction experiments.
