Rose quartz is composed of the mineral quartz, formula SiO2.
The mineral quartz makes up limestone.
its quartz brochacho!
Actually, Quartz IS a mineral itself. It is one of the hardest there is. (fourth hardest on the most common hardness scale.)
Yes, Feldspar and quartz makes up half of the earth's crust.
A milky white mineral made up of silica is quartz. Quartz is the second most abundant mineral on the Earth's crust.

Quartzite is composed mostly of silica. It contains minerals like zircon, rutile, and magnetite, and the silica cements them together.
Silica or Quartz Crystal.
Rose quartz is found in Madagascar, India, Germany, and several localities in the USA, most notably in South Dakota. Currently, a lot of rose quartz has been excavated in Brazil, where the only current source of true, well-formed crystals of rose quartz can be found. Rose quartz can be found in cores of pegmatites.
Silicon Dioxide
Rocks are made up of minerals. For example, granite is a rock made up of the minerals quartz, mic, and feldspar (in which the quartz makes up at least 20% of the rock, while at least 35% of the feldspar is alkali feldspar as opposed to plagioclase). Some kinds of rock consist purely of a single mineral; for instance chalk is nearly pure calcite.
Quartz itself is the mineral. Its formula is SiO2. Rocks are aggregates of minerals, so an example of a rock that contains a lot of quartz is granite.
