• What makes quarts expensive?
• Quartz is one of the most useful natural
  materials. Its usefulness can be linked to its
  physical and chemical properties. It has a
  hardness of seven on the Mohs Scale which makes
  it very durable. It is chemically inert in
  contact with most substances. It has electrical
  properties and heat resistance that make it
  valuable in electronic products. Its luster,
  color and diaphaneity make it useful as a
  gemstone and also in the making of glass. Palash

• Uses of Quartz in Glass Making- Geological
  processes have occasionally deposited sand that
  are composed of almost 100 quartz grains. These
  deposits have been identified and produced as
  sources of high purity silica sand. These sands
  are used in the glassmaking industry. Quartz sand
  is used in the production of container glass,
  flat plate glass, specialty glass and fiberglass.

• Uses of Quartz as an Abrasive
• The high hardness of quartz, seven on the Mohs
  Scale, makes it harder than most other natural
  substances. As such it is an excellent abrasive
  material. Quartz sands and finely ground silica
  sand are used for sand blasting, scouring
  cleansers, grinding media, and grit for sanding
  and sawing.

• Uses of Quartz as a Foundry Sand -Quartz is very
  resistant to both chemicals and heat. It is
  therefore often used as a foundry sand. With a
  melting temperature higher than most metals it
  can be used for the molds and cores of common
  foundry work. Refractory brick are often made of
  quartz sand because of its high heat resistance.
  Quartz sand is also used as a flux in the
  smelting of metals.

• Uses in the Petroleum Industry - Quartz sand has
  a high resistance to being crushed. In the
  petroleum industry sand slurries are forced down
  oil and gas wells under very high pressures in a
  process known ashydraulic fracturing. This high
  pressure fractures the reservoir rocks and the
  sandy slurry injects into the fractures. The
  durable sand grains hold the fractures open after
  the pressure is released.

• Many Other Quartz Sand Uses
• Quartz sand is used as a filler in the
  manufacture of rubber, paint and putty. Screened
  and washed, carefully sized quartz grains are
  used as filter media and roofing granules. Quartz
  sands are used for traction in the railroad and
  mining industries. These sands are also used in
  recreation on golf courses, volleyball courts,
  baseball fields, children's sand boxes and
  beaches.

• Uses of Quartz Crystals
• High quality quartz crystals are single-crystal
  silica with optical or electronic properties that
  make them useful for specialty purposes. USGS
  estimates that about ten billion quartz crystals
  are used every year.

• Quartz as a Gemstone
• Quartz makes an excellent gemstone. It is hard,
  durable and usually accepts a brilliant polish.
  Popular varieties of quartz that are widely used
  as gems include amethyst, citrine, rose quartz,
  and aventurine. Agate and jasper are also
  varieties of quartz with a microcrystalline
  structure.

• Special Silica Stone Uses
• "Silica stone" is an industrial term for
  materials such as quartzite, novaculite and other
  microcrystalline quartz rocks. These are used to
  produce abrasive tools, deburring media, grinding
  stones, hones, oilstones, stone files, tube-mill
  liners and whetstones.

• Quartz used in clocks -Quartz maintains a precise
  frequency standard, which helps regulate the
  movement of the clock, making the timepieces very
  accurate. Quartz is used mainly in jewelry and
  ornaments. Some people attribute medical healing
  properties to quartz crystals but this remains
  unproven.
