No, quartz is in the silicate mineral group, with a composition of SiO2. Carbonates have the group ending of - for example CaCO3. One contains silicon, the other carbon.

Quartz belongs to the mineral group called silicates. Silicates are minerals composed of silicon and oxygen atoms, with quartz specifically classified as a tectosilicate due to its framework structure.
Calcite is a mineral that contains the carbonate ion group (-CO3). It is a common mineral found in limestone and marble.
Flint is composed of quartz, a silicate mineral.
Amethyst is a variety of quartz, which is a member of the silicate mineral group. It is characterized by its purple color, which is caused by the presence of trace amounts of iron in the crystal structure.
The mineral would be classified as a member of the quartz group of tectosilicates such as quartz.Quartz. SiO2.quartz
Lime stone (the only mineral is calcite CaCO3 and belong to group carbonate), and the second example is halite( the only mineral is halite, composition is Nacl and belong to evaporates group).
Feldspar and quartz are not carbonates (carbonate minerals). They are silicates because they have Silica (Si) in the formula. Quartz is SiO2. Feldspar is a mineral group (feldspars) They have a variable composition that gneerally depends on the amount of Ca, Na or K in their chemical formula. An example of feldspar is Albite NaAlSi3O8. Carbonates have CO3 in their chemical formula. Two examples are Calcite (CaCO3) and Siderite (FeCO3).
Quartz is a silicate mineral. In fact, quartz is pure SiO2 (Silicon Dioxide). Most of the Earth's crust is made of silicate rock.
The group of rocks that usually have the mineral quartz as part of their composition is the granitic group. Quartz is one of the last minerals to crystallize filling in the gaps in granite as it cools.
Silicate is the mineral group in the Earth's crust. This contains quartz, feldspars, and micas.
