Is coal or quartz form by inorganic processes?

Both coal and quartz are formed by inorganic processes. Coal is formed from the remains of plant material that undergoes decomposition and compaction over millions of years. Quartz is a mineral composed of silicon and oxygen, typically formed from the precipitation of dissolved silica in crustal rocks or hydrothermal fluids.

What is rose quartz made out of?

Rose quartz is formed when a small amount of iron is incorporated into a pure quartz (SiO2) matrix. The inclusion of iron (Fe2O3) in many minerals s responsible for the colors that are observed. Iron also turns quartz into Amethyst.


What can you infer about the formation of a cluster of well formed quartz crystals?

The formation of a cluster of well-formed quartz crystals likely occurred in conditions with enough space for the crystals to grow freely without interference. Slow cooling and consistent pressure are also key factors in producing well-formed quartz crystals with defined shapes and clarity.
