Question:

How does quartz create the piezoelectric effect?

What are the size,dimensions,mechanics of the piece of quartz in a piezoelectric ignitor?In laymans terms,avoid complicated algebraic formulas if this can be explained easyer.

Answer:

NO It is mainly SiO2
Clarifying what it means to be organic should make this easier. To be organic, a compound must have carbon in it. As another answerer also said, quartz is SiO2. Hope this helps.
No, and colorations are due to metals present. Rose quartz is a type of quartz which exhibits a pale pink to rose red hue. The color is usually considered as due to trace amounts of titanium, iron, or manganese, in the massive material.
