Abstract

This lecture text condenses the characteristics of quartz and its rich palette of varieties. The mineralogy and crystallography of quartz and its forms, the origin of its colors, and their important physical and chemical characteristics are discussed. The geological occurrence of quartz and its varieties in the world is also presented, with special attention to North Macedonia.
Their applications in various industries are also included. Knowledge of the specifc properties of SiO2 minerals is indispen�sable for understanding and reconstruction of geological processes, as well as for specifc technical applications
