Quartz iyiminerali evamile etholakala ezinhlotsheni eziningi zamatshe ahlukahlukene, okuhlanganisa i-granite, i-sandstone, namadwala e-metamorphic afana ne-schist ne-gneiss. Itholakala futhi emadwaleni e-sedimentary njenge-sandstone kanye ne-shale. Ngenkathi i-quartz ingase ingabi yinhle kakhulu or ubukhazikhazi bamaminerali, obuyingqayizivele isakhiwo sekristalu ikunikeza inani lezakhiwo ezibalulekile eziyenza yaziwe kakhulu futhi isetshenziswe kabanzi ezinhlelweni ezahlukahlukene.
Isakhiwo sekristalu se-quartz sakhiwe iphethini ephindaphindayo ye-silicon nama-athomu omoya-mpilo. Lesi sakhiwo sinikeza i-quartz izinto eziningi eziyingqayizivele, okuhlanganisa izinga eliphezulu lokuzinza kwamakhemikhali kanye nobulukhuni obungu-7 esikalini se-Mohs, okwenza ukuthi imelane nokuklwebheka nokuguga.
Enye yezinto ezithakazelisa kakhulu ze-quartz yi-piezoelectricity yayo, okusho ukuthi ingakwazi ukukhiqiza ukushaja kagesi uma ingaphansi kokucindezeleka kwemishini. Lesi sakhiwo senze i-quartz yaba ingxenye ebalulekile kubuchwepheshe obuhlukahlukene, okuhlanganisa amawashi, amawashi, nezinye izinto zokugcina isikhathi, kanye namasekhethi kagesi nezinzwa.
I-Quartz iphinde ibe yinto ye-piezoelectric, okusho ukuthi ingadlidliza nangemvamisa ethile uma kushajwa ugesi kuyo. Lesi sakhiwo senze i-quartz yaba ingxenye ebalulekile ezinhlotsheni eziningi ezahlukene zama-oscillator nama-resonators, asetshenziswa kukho konke kusukela kumarediyo namathelevishini kuya komakhalekhukhwini nezinhlelo ze-GPS.
Ngaphezu kokusetshenziswa kwayo okungokoqobo, i-quartz nayo yaziswa kakhulu ngobuhle bayo futhi isetshenziswa ezinhlotsheni ezihlukahlukene zokuhlobisa. Isakhiwo se-crystal esiyingqayizivele se-quartz sinikeza uhla lwemibala ehlukene namaphethini, kufaka phakathi cacisa i-quartz, amethiste, citrine, Futhi i-quartz ebhemayo, ngayinye enezakhiwo nezici zayo ezihlukile.
Sekukonke, isakhiwo sekristalu se-quartz siyisihloko esithakazelisayo nesiyinkimbinkimbi, futhi esibambe iqhaza elibalulekile ezinhlobonhlobo zezinhlelo zokusebenza zobuchwepheshe nezokuhlobisa. Kusukela ezintweni zayo eziyingqayizivele kanye nokusetshenziswa kwayo, kuya ebuhleni bayo obumangalisayo nokwehlukahlukana, i-quartz iyimaminerali ephawulekayo futhi enezici eziningi.
