Identify three minerals that are normally found with quartz in samples of andesite rock?
quartz garnet olivine
True or False Olivine and quartz commonly crystallize together from mafic or basaltic magmas?
false. SiO2 + CaMg(CaCO3)2 -> MgSiO4 + CaCO3 + CO2 (not balanced) Quartz + Dolomite -> Forsterite +Calcite + excess CO2 that is released as gas Forsterite is a type of olivine. Olivine's chemical formula is (Mg,Fe)SiO4, with the Mg as forsterite and the Fe as fayelite. Oceanic crust is rick in basalt and gabbro and these rocks have a very low quartz content or are void of it. Continental crust contains a large amount of granitic rocks from which quartz is found in most frequently. Olivine usually forms in very hydrous situations where there is water involved, and comes from oceanic crust usually.

Why are quartz and other metallic minerals such as gold commonly associated with hydrothermal rocks?
Many metallic ores that are found are associated with quartz because they are often found within veins of quartz. The metals are then separated from the crushed quartz ore.
