I found a quartz in my backyard its clear and smooth but at the bottom its rough and its about the size of my palm. it weighs about 1 to 2 pounds i think. how much do u think its worth? not like im gonna sell it but how much is it worth?
Differences: Diamonds are much harder than quartz. Quartz is the second most common mineral whereas diamond is the hardest known substance on Earth. Diamond is the greatest heat conductor and has the highest refractive index of all minerals. Diamonds are made of carbons and quartz is made of silicone dioxide. Quartz is used for watches, computers and famous trading item. Diamonds are used mostly in the jewelry industry. Similarities: Quartz's crystalline structure is very similar to diamonds. Quartz crystal's molecular structure is a dense and strong tetrahedral network like diamonds.
->Diamonds are the hardest substance and quartz is the most abundant substance found on Earth. ->Quartz is softer than diamonds since diamonds have the hardness of 10 according to the MON scale. ->Diamonds are made of carbons and quartz is made o
A diamond is much harder than a quartz and the chemical formula is C and is composed of carbons whereas for a quartz, it’s SiO2 and silicone dioxide. Diamonds are isometric whereas quartz is hexagonal and diamonds have a greasy luster whereas quartz can have vitreous, resinous and dull luster. Diamonds are only used in jewelry whereas quartz are used in ceramics, computers and the soap industry.
