SiO2
Please be a bit more precise.
The composition of quartz is SiO2 which means that two atoms of oxygen share one atom of silicon. It can be described as "Silicon di-oxide," and as a result it forms long hexagonal crystals which may be surmounted with a six sided pyramid. On the Mhos scale of hardness it has a hardness of 7. Varieties of quartz include flint, amethyst, rose quartz etc.
It also forms a massive variety which is often seen in metamorphic rocks, as a crystal in granites. In pure form it resembles clear glass. It has a conchoidal fracture.

What are the basic steps in mineral exploration?
Mineral exploration methods vary at different stages of the process depending on size of the area being explored, as well as the density and type of information sought. Aside from extraplanetary exploration, at the largest scale is a geological mineral Province (such as the Eastern Goldfields Province of Western Australia), which may be sub-divided into Regions. At the smaller scale are mineral Prospects, which may contain several mineral Deposits.
What is the chemical composition of quartz mineral?
Quartz is silicon dioxide (SiO2).
A rock that consists mostly of mineral quartz will have a composition very similar to?
Quartz is a major mineral in granite. Therefore, a rock consisting mostly of quartz will have a composition similar to granite. Both rocks are light in color and have a high silica content.
What is the percent of quartz found in granite?
12 percent on a mineral composition table
What mineral is stable at earths surface?
Quartz is a mineral that is stable at Earth's surface due to its chemical composition and resistance to weathering processes.
What is the mineral composition of granite?
the mineral composition of granite isfeldspar,diamond,talc,chalk and other plutonic rocks
Is quartz in the mineral carbonate group?
No, quartz is in the silicate mineral group, with a composition of SiO2. Carbonates have the group ending of - for example CaCO3. One contains silicon, the other carbon.
Is pure quartz a mineral?
Yes, pure quartz is a mineral. It is a crystalline form of silicon dioxide (SiO2) and is one of the most abundant minerals on Earth.
