Seven Advantages Quartz Rocks

Quartz :

Xtal Quartz

Quartz is one type of rock containing the elements silica (Si) and oxygen (O) compounds. These rocks into the crust of the most dominant of the other rocks. With its physical properties, then these rocks can be together elements of gold (Au).

With the content of silica so that a melting high enough, ie at a temperature of 1410 degrees Celsius with boiling level at a temperature of 2355 degrees celsius. By bonding element so that then directly Quartz will have resistance to heat, or in other words become the most heat-resistant rock.

From the content of this element especially Silica which also carries rocks Quartz oxidation state at level 4, level together with other elements Zircon, Hafnium, Germanium, Titanium, Vanadium, Manganese, Molybdenum, Phosphorus and Sulphur.

What is the advantages..of Quartz .

Silica from Periodic Table

1. High melting point, in 1410 deajat Celsius, so it will start to become rock solid and being at a temperature hot liquid magma of environmental objects, or magmatis hydrothermal fluids.

This will bring the association to other elements also has similar properties, including the precious metals, gold course, base metals such as silver, iron, chromium, manganese, etc.

So that logically that the quartz rock, be inspiasi to kebeadaan precious metals and base metals, based on the level of melting point. Thus it became the quartz mineral or rock is most friendly with other minerals into a particular rock that always contains quartz.

2. Level high boiling point cause the rocks contain many minerals quartz be having a long enough time span and length of the order during the process into the hot liquid over the inside of natural processes, perhaps hydrothermal, mesothermal or any other.

This makes the association of rock quartz increasingly numerous and varied, but remained on the nature of heat-resistant, highly specific melting.

3. Oxidation rates are quite high, at number 4, indicating that the nature of the quartz is not easily oxidized and therefore he will be more resistant to weathering processes of nature.

Therefore too many can be found quartz still fresh and resistant and can be found on the surface of the earth.

4. By nature there are many on this Earth, then almost all of rock found there is always a quartz mineral content, anywhere, on this earth.

It is therefore easy to search for quartz from what kinds of kinds and shapes how, what color and Seterrusnya.

There various kinds of quartz, ordinary Quartz, Milky quartz, sugary quartz, massive quartz

5. quartz can be fused with various other mineral elements, so many minerals or rocks containing quartz. Epithermal Gold , Stockworks Pophyry Gold, all related this quartz minerals.

Thus making the kinds and variations of rock in nature, and a case is known in geology as part of Petrology and Petroghaphy.

Mainly igneous rock always contain mineral quartz, and other minerals are also many minerals containing the element silica

6. Hardness 7 on the persistence of quartz rock, rock or mineral make this a matter for the gems. Other physical properties are Luster, such as glass so that at the poles will sparkle, the interesting thing for the public.

7. Have many uses and different kinds of quartz stone, among others:

#. Material maker of glass, ceramics, sunblasting, filter, cement, construction
#. The material for metal casting

#. The material gemstones and colections with the color, shape, xrystal.
