The source of the elements that make up quartz are the silicon and oxygen that exist has high percentage elements in Earth's crust and mantle. The source of quartz for industrial purposes like glass making is usually from high silica sand or sandstone. For mineral crystal collectors, the source is usually from vugs or pockets found in rock, where the crystals have developed from mineral rich solutions over many thousands of years. Quartz is abundant the world over.

Is silica and forms of granite found in upper mantle?
Silica is found in the upper mantle, but not granite. Most of the minerals in the mantle are silicates, meaning they contain silica. Granite is found in the crust, primarily conditnental crust, as it forms from high-silica magma. The upper mantle is composed mostly of a lower-silica rock called peridotite.
