The composition of quartz is the simplest silica, glass luster, no cleavage surface, but with a shell-like fracture. Microcrystalline quartz is called chalcedony, agate or jasper. Pure quartz is colorless, but presents different colors due to impurities that often contain transition elements. Quartz is very stable and does not easily weather or change into other minerals. According to the degree of SiO2 crystallinity, it can be divided into crystalline quartz crystal, polycrystalline quartzite jade. Gloss: Glass luster. Color: no, white, with a touch of gray, yellow to orange, purple, deep purple, pink, gray brown, brown, black. Streak: white. Specific gravity: 2.65 ~ 2.66. Category: Metamorphic rock, which is metamorphosed by sandstone.
During the intrusion and evolution of magma, due to changes in temperature, pressure and other conditions, the hydrothermal fluid rich in SiO2 is separated, and the bedding layer and fissure penetrate into the metamorphic rock series of the surrounding rock, or the contact fracture zone along the pre-magmatic rock. Invade to form a vein-like quartzite ore body.
