Crystal Quartz From Brazil

Quartz includes a variety of stones. Colorless quartz, or crystal quartz is the most common. The word "crystal" comes from the Greek word for "ice" and was believed to be eternally frozen. The single quartz crystal is a six-sided prism, however this is not always how it is formed. Sometimes it is found in veins, seams, or pockets of rock. It is popular for carving objects and making crystal balls. Quartz is used for optical and technical purposes, but only 10% is pure enough to use for this purpose. The major supplier of crystal quartz is Brazil, but it found abundantly throughout the world, including in the United States.
