What is recrystallized quartz limestone called?
Recrystallized limestone is generally called marble. Recrystallized quartz sandstone is generally called quartzite. There is no such thing as quartz limestone.
What is cheaper quartz or granite counter tops?
It depends on the granite or quartz you choose but generally granite is slightly cheaper.
What makes a glass different from a solid such as quartz .under what conditions could quartz be converted into glass?
you stupid there is no answer for the second part you fool.
Where do rocks and mineral come from?
The minerals are made up of various atoms which are joined by strong chemical bonds in a very disciplined manner. Now at a particular pressure and temperature atoms joined together to form a particular mineral which is stable at that pressure-temperature. Rock is an aggregate of various minerals e.g. granite has orthoclase feldsper,quartz,small amount of mica etc. in a particular texture which together helps to stabilize the whole system in normal pressure-temperature.
What temperature does quartz crystal?
Quartz has a high boiling point. This mineral is essentially an oxide of silicon, SiO2, and it boils at over 2200°C.++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Quartz melts at normal atmospheric pressure at about 600 OC, which is why high silica content rocks - such as granite, rhyolite, obsidian etc., are highly viscous, whereas basalt which contains NO FREE QUARTZ - all the quartz forms silicates such as olivine, plagioclase feldspar and mica are of a lower viscosity, can flow long distances and freeze at about 1100 OC.
Is quartz a solid liquid or a gas?
Under normal conditions of temperature and pressure the mineral Quartz is a crystalline solid.
What is novaculites's parent rocks?
Novaculites are composed mainly of recrystallized and compacted microcrystalline quartz. They are typically formed from the alteration of chert or siliceous ooze deposits that have been subjected to high pressure and temperature conditions over time.
Is quartz plastic?
No, its brittle under the stress and temperature conditions found at or near the Earth's surface. However if "stressed" it is piezoelectric.
What are four things that affect the formation of rocks?
Temperature, pressure, availability of minerals...
Is quartz toxic?
Quartz in fine particles can cause lung conditions when inhaled.
What is recrystallized quartz limestone called?
Recrystallized limestone is generally called marble. Recrystallized quartz sandstone is generally called quartzite. There is no such thing as quartz limestone.
How does quartz work in the temperature sensor inside the vial in freeze dryer?
A quartz temperature sensor inside a vial in a freeze dryer works by measuring the frequency of the quartz crystal. The quartz crystal is designed to vibrate at a specific frequency when it is exposed to a certain temperature. As the temperature inside the vial changes, the frequency of the quartz crystal changes as well. The frequency is then measured by the temperature sensor and compared to a reference temperature, allowing the freeze dryer to accurately measure and control the temperature of the vial.
What happens to a quartz when its heated?
It rises in temperature.
Does andesite contain little or no quartz?
Correct. Andesite generally does not have a high enough silica content for quartz to form.
What is cheaper quartz or granite counter tops?
It depends on the granite or quartz you choose but generally granite is slightly cheaper.

Flint chert and jasper are microcrystalline forms of what?
Flint, chert and jasper are all forms of the mineral quartz, which are generally formed in sedimentary rock.
