Quartz crystal is defined by clarity and geometric crystal structure, often forming transparent to translucent shapes with defined edges.
Composed of silicon dioxide, quartz develops through slow crystallization in hydrothermal environments.
Applications include electronics using piezoelectric properties, timekeeping devices, and optical and decorative uses.
Found globally, including Brazil, Madagascar, and the United States, each specimen varies in clarity and formation.
