i cant find this any where please help
It can also be found mixed in with jasper and other sedimentary rocks then solidified. Basically, quartz conglomerate can be found anywhere there are quartz sediments...so that 90% of the world. lol. As an example. I have a rock specimen that i picked up from a mountain road here in MT. The rock in the way so I just threw it into my truck and later cut it in half. Inside it is a red jasper w/some lava and quartz and agate veins running through it. I use the rock halves as book shelf stoppers now. Quartz has many faces and depending on where and what the formation is, the price tag will reflect it. The college of technology, MT Tech, has a mineral museum that just bought a smoky quartz crystal cluster from a guy for $40,000 last summer - the Rheanna Star. Here is also another neat fact that you can amaze your student peers and teachers with. Smoky quartz crystals are unique in their own. The darkness in the crystal is the reaction of it being around radiation exposure over time. So, the longer a smoky quartz crystal is exposed to and the higher amounts of radiation, the darker the smoky quartz crystal is. To remove the darkness, by placing a crystal into a oven, the radiation will be cooked out and the crystal will turn clear. So if you find a smoky quartz conglomerate, then it has been exposed to radiation. As a 3rd grade student, you should ponder this as a hobby. It actually is a fun hobby and can really get you outside and having some fun. Rockhounding is a hobby that brings one to the outdoors and into the dirt, literally. If you are interested in it, search around for you nearest mineral gem club and have your mom/dad attend a meeting with you. For mostly the clubs around here in MT are people who are retired, grandparents, and the younger are usually school teachers. It truly is a fun experience if you have the interest. So if it all interests you, check it out more. Good Luck.
Quartz conglomerate is certainly not rare. Perhaps the most famous location of all the quartz conglomerate occurrences in the world is the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa, where over one billion ounces of gold have been produced. EDIT - you could also try: Jacobina, Brazil Elliott Lake, Ontario Tantalus, Yukon Barcelona, Spain Pottsville, Pennsylvania Ranger, Australia
This Site Might Help You. RE: Where is quartz conglomerate found? I am doing a report for 3 grade and I can not find any information on where quartz conglomerate is found and how it is used. There is a lot about conglomerate but really nothing about quartz conglomerat specifically which is the rock I was assigned. Thank you for any help,.
