Physical properties

Formation & geological history

If quartz, it formed as silica-rich fluids cooled in fractures or cavities; quartz occurs in rocks of many geological ages. The bangle has been shaped and polished from stone.

Uses & applications

Worn as jewelry and collected; quartz is also widely used in glassmaking and electronics.

Geological facts

Quartz is one of Earth’s most abundant minerals and breaks with a curved, conchoidal fracture rather than along cleavage planes.

Field identification & locations

A glass scratch test is not conclusive; inspect for natural inclusions and use gemological testing to distinguish quartz from glass or other clear stones. Quartz is found worldwide.
