No, its brittle under the stress and temperature conditions found at or near the Earth's surface. However if "stressed" it is piezoelectric.

Why does the 6 sided quartz i purchased feel like plastic?

The six-sided quartz you purchased may feel like plastic due to a few reasons, such as its surface finish or treatment. Quartz can sometimes be polished to a high gloss, giving it a smooth texture that can mimic plastic. Additionally, if the quartz has been artificially treated or coated, that could further enhance the plastic-like feel. Lastly, it may simply be a lower-quality or synthetic material that resembles quartz but does not have the same tactile properties.
