I live in the lower region of Texas and I would like to find some out in nature, not only that but what should I use to find it?Also, how can I tell that its quartz? (like certain textures,where it was found,etc..)Thank you and please respond :)
What is it and where is it formed? Quartz is the most common mineral in the Earth’s crust. Quartz is in sandstones, granites, and other igneous rocks. It forms veins in the cracks of rocks. There is a lot of heat and water where they form. Crystals are made when the quartz cools down. The way the crystal looks depends on how hot it was when it was formed. Quartz is a part of almost any kind of rock—igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic.
