Nov 14, 2019 Quartz Silica is one of the most widely distributed materials in the earth’s crust. Quartz ( a crystalline variety of silica) is mostly silica(Si02), However with the presence of certain impurities. Quartz is the most abundant mineral found on earth’s surface. Quartz, Quartz crystals, Silica sand, Quartzite are also collectively described as Silica minerals.

Most sand on the beach consists of grains of the mineral quartz (SiO 2).Mineral sands are old beach, river or dune sands that contain concentrations of the important minerals, rutile, ilmenite, zircon and monazite.These 'heavy' minerals have a relative density of between 4 and 5.5 g/cm 3 and are much heavier than common sand minerals such as quartz which has a density of around 2.65 g/cm 3.
