The Largest Quartz Production in the World
Quartz is a mineral composed of silicon and oxygen atoms arranged in a continuous framework of SiO4 silicon-oxygen tetrahedra. It is the second most abundant mineral in Earth's continental crust, after feldspar. There are many different varieties of quartz, including amethyst, citrine, rose quartz, and smoky quartz, which vary in color due to impurities within the crystal lattice. Quartz is also widely used in various industries, including electronics, as a component in electronic devices like watches and computers, and in construction, as a building material. It is also popular as a gemstone and is often used in jewelry.
