Silicon Dioxide (known as Quartz) is not the hardest mineral, the hardest mineral is an allotrope of carbon called diamond. Quartz is only the 7th hardest mineral.
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.
The word 'potash' refers to potassium compounds and materials which are potassium bearing. A mineral is defined as a naturally occurring inorganic crystalline solid with a definite chemical composition; therefore, potash is not a mineral as such, and is not a member of a mineral group.
