That depends. Normally, no. However certain very pure varieties of quartz, or quartz with certain inclusions within them can be valuable to collectors.

i think it's worth a lot...

If it contains some good, complete quartz crystals, it could be.

Yes, quartz is a valuable rock but remember it depends on how much you have and it must be real to be worth anything!

How much are most quartz crystals worth?

Most Quartz Crystals are worth as much as a grain of sand. Most sand is composed of minute crystals of Quartz. The make-up of Quartz is found in the Chemical formula of Silica or (silicon dioxide, SiO2). Pure quartz is colorless or white; colored varieties include rose quartz, amethyst, smoky quartz, milky quartz, and others. Quartz goes by an array of different names. The most important distinction between types of quartz is that of macrocrystalline (individual crystals visible to the unaided eye) and the microcrystalline or cryptocrystalline varieties (aggregates of crystals visible only under high magnification). Chalcedony is a generic term for cryptocrystalline quartz. The cryptocrystalline varieties are either translucent or mostly opaque, while the transparent varieties tend to be macrocrystalline. Although many of the varietal names historically arose from the color of the mineral, current scientific naming schemes refer primarily to the microstructure of the mineral. Color is a secondary identifier for the cryptocrystalline minerals, although it is a primary identifier for the macrocrystalline varieties. This does not always hold true. So in truth, Quartz is one of the most plentiful substances on Earth!
