How much are most quartz crystals worth?

Most Quartz Crystals are worth as much as a grain of sand. Most sand is composed of minute crystals of Quartz. The make-up of Quartz is found in the Chemical formula of Silica or (silicon dioxide, SiO2). Pure quartz is colorless or white; colored varieties include rose quartz, amethyst, smoky quartz, milky quartz, and others. Quartz goes by an array of different names. The most important distinction between types of quartz is that of macrocrystalline (individual crystals visible to the unaided eye) and the microcrystalline or cryptocrystalline varieties (aggregates of crystals visible only under high magnification). Chalcedony is a generic term for cryptocrystalline quartz. The cryptocrystalline varieties are either translucent or mostly opaque, while the transparent varieties tend to be macrocrystalline. Although many of the varietal names historically arose from the color of the mineral, current scientific naming schemes refer primarily to the microstructure of the mineral. Color is a secondary identifier for the cryptocrystalline minerals, although it is a primary identifier for the macrocrystalline varieties. This does not always hold true. So in truth, Quartz is one of the most plentiful substances on Earth!


How much is milky quartz worth?

The value of milky quartz will depend on factors such as size, clarity, and color. In general, milky quartz is not as valuable as other varieties of quartz such as amethyst or citrine, but prices can vary from a few dollars for small pieces to several hundred dollars for larger, high-quality specimens. It's best to consult with a gemstone expert or appraiser for an accurate assessment of the value of a specific milky quartz specimen.


What mineral scratches quartz but not gypsum and is green in color?

The mineral that scratches quartz but not gypsum and is green in color is called fluorite. It has a hardness of 4 on the Mohs scale, making it capable of scratching quartz (hardness of 7) but not gypsum (hardness of 2). Fluorite is commonly found in various shades of green, but it can also occur in other colors such as purple, yellow, and blue.
