  • Quartz: Mineral Properties and Occurrence in Rocks
    Quartz is a mineral, not a rock.

    However, quartz is a very common mineral found in many different types of rocks, including:

    * Igneous rocks: Quartz is found in granite, rhyolite, and other felsic rocks.

    * Sedimentary rocks: Quartz is found in sandstone, quartzite, and conglomerate.

    * Metamorphic rocks: Quartz is found in gneiss, schist, and marble.

    It's important to note that quartz is not a rock itself, but it is a common component of many different rock types.
