Question:

how and where is quartz formed?

Answer:

Quartz behaves just like glass or mirrors. They are poor conductors of heat. You know how your windows will fog up when you're cooking sometimes? Say for instance, you're boiling a big pot of potatoes on the stove; it increases the humidity in the room. When the humid air gets near the window, it gets cooler and it condenses and forms the wet fog on the window. Same thing happens with quartz, since quartz and glass are basically made of the same thing. Sometimes just the warmth of your hands {depending of course of air temperature and such} can make a quartz {and some other geological specimens} sweat.
