I am doing a project on Tigers Eye for science class. I wanted to add a bar graph of the most common types of quartz in order. i have so far: 1. Rock Crystal 2. Amethyst3.Citrine4.Rose Quartz and 5. Smoky Quartz.I know that there are at least 10 major types of quartz and would like to know where they fall on my list.
Quartz is one type of sedimentary rock.Sedimentary rocks form in the following way. Ignesious rocks(molten rock or magma which migrates up to the crust) exposed at the surface undergo weathering and erosion,which produces sediment.This is eventually carried out to sea,where it collects in layers.These become incresingly deeply buried and compressed by the weight of the overlying layers to form sedimentary rock.
