∙ 12y agoQuartz is actually a type of common (rock forming) mineral which is also known as silica (silicon dioxide - SiO2). There is a metamorphic rock which is predominately composed of silica known as quartzite. Sandstones with very high silica content (> 98-99% quartz) are known as orthoquartzites.
