Is quartz sedimentary or metamorphic?
Quartz (SiO2) crystallizes from magma that is high in silica, thus most quartz is originally igneous. It then weathers out of igneous rocks as a clast and is deposited in what becomes a sedimentary rock. The original igneous rock or the quartz containing sedimentary rock can then become metamorphosed. Furthermore, quartz can also form out of solution by meteoric water or hydrothermal systems in which case it is a precipitate. It can be both crystalline or amorphous.
