Background:

Quartz is the second most abundant mineral in Earth's continental crust, behind feldspar. The word "quartz" is derived from the German word "Quarz",. The Ancient Greeks referred to quartz as κρύσταλλος (krustallos) derived from the Ancient Greek κρύος (kruos) meaning "icy cold", because some philosophers (including Theophrastus) apparently believed the mineral to be a form of supercooled ice. We now know that quartz is a hard, crystalline mineral composed of silicon and oxygen atoms. The atoms are linked in a continuous pyramid shaped framework with each oxygen being shared between two tetrahedra, which is how the formula SiO2 came to life in geology textbooks. .
