What makes quarts expensive?

Quartz is one of the most useful natural materials. Its usefulness can be linked to its physical and
chemical properties. It has a hardness of seven on the Mohs Scale which makes it very durable. It is
chemically inert in contact with most substances. It has electrical properties and heat resistance that
make it valuable in electronic products. Its luster, color and diaphaneity make it useful as a gemstone
and also in the making of glass. Palash Minerals is one of the well- reckoned organizations Mining

Uses of Quartz in Glass Making

Geological processes have occasionally deposited sand that are composed of almost 100% quartz grains.
These deposits have been identified and produced as sources of high purity silica sand. These sands are
used in the glassmaking industry. Quartz sand is used in the production of container glass, flat plate
glass, specialty glass and fiberglass.

Uses of Quartz as an Abrasive

The high hardness of quartz, seven on the Mohs Scale, makes it harder than most other natural
substances. As such it is an excellent abrasive material. Quartz sands and finely ground silica sand are
used for sand blasting, scouring cleansers, grinding media, and grit for sanding and sawing.

Uses of Quartz as a Foundry Sand

Quartz is very resistant to both chemicals and heat. It is therefore often used as a foundry sand. With a
melting temperature higher than most metals it can be used for the molds and cores of common
foundry work. Refractory brick are often made of quartz sand because of its high heat resistance. Quartz
sand is also used as a flux in the smelting of metals.

Uses in the Petroleum Industry

Quartz sand has a high resistance to being crushed. In the petroleum industry sand slurries are forced
down oil and gas wells under very high pressures in a process known ashydraulic fracturing. This high
pressure fractures the reservoir rocks and the sandy slurry injects into the fractures. The durable sand
grains hold the fractures open after the pressure is released. These open fractures facilitate the flow of
natural gas into the well bore.

Many Other Quartz Sand Uses

Quartz sand is used as a filler in the manufacture of rubber, paint and putty. Screened and washed,
carefully sized quartz grains are used as filter media and roofing granules. Quartz sands are used for
traction in the railroad and mining industries. These sands are also used in recreation on golf courses,
volleyball courts, baseball fields, children's sand boxes and beaches.

Uses of Quartz Crystals

High quality quartz crystals are single-crystal silica with optical or electronic properties that make them
useful for specialty purposes. USGS estimates that about ten billion quartz crystals are used every year.
Electronics grade crystals can be used in filters, frequency controls, timers, electronic circuits that
become important components in cell phones, watches, clocks, games, television receivers, computers,
navigational instruments and other products. Optical-grade crystals can be used as lenses and windows
in lasers and other specialized devices. Although some natural quartz crystals are used in these
applications, most of these special crystals are now manufactured.

Quartz as a Gemstone
Quartz makes an excellent gemstone. It is hard, durable and usually accepts a brilliant polish. Popular
varieties of quartz that are widely used as gems include: amethyst, citrine,rose quartz, and aventurine.
Agate and jasper are also varieties of quartz with a microcrystalline structure.

Special Silica Stone Uses

"Silica stone" is an industrial term for materials such as quartzite, novaculite and other microcrystalline
quartz rocks. These are used to produce abrasive tools, deburring media, grinding stones, hones,
oilstones, stone files, tube-mill liners and whetstones.

Quartz used in clocks

Quartz maintains a precise frequency standard, which helps regulate the movement of the clock, making
the timepieces very accurate.
Quartz is used mainly in jewelry and ornaments. Some people attribute medical healing properties to
quartz crystals but this remains unproven.
