Quartz - Silicon Dioxide -How to Identify and Test

Chad Keel takes us on an educational adventure to explore Silicon dioxide, also known as silica, is an oxide of silicon with the chemical formula SiO₂, most commonly found in nature as quartz and in various living organisms. In many parts of the world, silica is the major constituent of sand.

Thanks, great video very informative without a bunch of big words 🤗 also I love Wrightwood, have been there many times while training for and running the Angeles Crest 100

[@KowboyUSA]

I love quartz. Near where I lived in southern Arizona there was a mountain that top of is a big deposit of quartz. During monsoon season the top got rained clean and could look almost like a snow cap laying there in the triple digit heat.

[@ChadKeel]

That sounds like an amazing sight to see. Nature is pure beauty.

Hey- thanks! New to rockhounding/identifying & science in general... but, I learned a lot and the tests were fun! You should be a science teacher!! Kids might actually learn. Peace & Love.

[@kmackay3590]

Nice info! We had some river rocks we used for our fire pit and one of them broke down, after beating it down more it appears to be quartz. Will try out these tests. Either way though, the rock is so beautiful

[@thedude8439]

Quartz is also used to make the elements inside an Ultrasound Transducer. Quartz has the ability to transform electric energy into sound energy by way of something called the Piezoelectric effect. The electric energy from the power cord going to the transducer of the ultrasound machine, you know that little wand the technician holds in their hand, anyways the electric energy changes into sound energy and the sound waves are emitted from the tip of the transducer through the gel they put on the skin and into the body. Those sound waved bounce off structured in the body and bounce echos back to the transducer, when the energy passes back through the crystal element it changes back over from sound energy into electric energy (once again the Piezoelectric effect) and the electric energy is interpreted. Or something like that from what I understand. Of course, they don't use crystals pulled right out of the ground, they develop the precise crystal elements in a lab but they are crystals none the less.

[@philindeblanc]

Different acids will react differently. Even HCL may NOT show a reaction, while citric acid will show more of a reaction and haze/cloudy the stone surface. Dolomite has magnesium oxide, so it has a different bond, and is stronger than marble, limestone. Quartzite can chip easier than dolomite.

[@lilmama4426]

We just moved onto our new property and I am stunned there is quartz lying literally on every square ft of our 38ac(some I've picked up are 10lbs and up). There is mica everywhere as well (accd to a rock iD app). Granite rocks also but mainly quartz, what does this mean? Why would it be scattered on top of the ground (buried like lil icebergs also). There is a meteor impact site near here from thousands of years ago but not sure if that has something to do with it. I've found a few broken arrowheads made from the quartz. We have a small stream I cannot wait to explore. I am def subbing because I've always had a passion for rocks...I just want to actually learn as much as possible about every mineral, crystal, etc. Thanks for the video.😊

quartz have a trigonal crystal system? I thought quartz was notorious for it's hexagonal structure nvm after 5.7 seconds of research I see the trigonal crystal system encompasses the hexagonal lattice system which a quartz is an example of. so trigonal crystal system hexagonal lattice system, dont know the diff between crystal and lattice but i've got nothing to do today either

Seymour Duncan - Silicon dioxide does not react with almost everything. Cement consists of silicon dioxide, as do most TOUGH surfaces. And, NO, it will NOT react with your stomach or body.

if its so abundant how come the closist place to my house wear you can find it is over 4 hours away. I would think it would be all over. know I understand yes sand is quarts or has it in their but I am not talking about sant I am talking about the fact if it was the most abondint then I would see it wear I live over other stones. but instead the most abundant stone buy be is sand stone.

[@christopherrowley7506]

it's because, as a mineral, it is an ingredient in rock. It's more rare to find any mineral purely on its own. For example Granite, by definition, is between 20% and 60% quartz.

[@ForageGardener]

Most crystals in general are quartz with various impurities. And like you said, its IN the sandstone you speak of. :)
