Yes, it does.
No, quartz can exhibit different crystal structures depending on temperature and pressure conditions during its formation. The most common crystal structure of quartz is the hexagonal system, but variations can occur, leading to different forms such as amethyst and citrine.
Recrystallized limestone is generally called marble. Recrystallized quartz sandstone is generally called quartzite. There is no such thing as quartz limestone.
Quartz typically forms last in Bowen's reaction series due to its high resistance to weathering and its stability under low-temperature conditions. As magma cools and crystallizes, quartz is one of the minerals that will precipitate out towards the end of the crystallization process.
A quartz re-strike refers to the phenomenon where a high-pressure sodium lamp that has been turned off briefly does not immediately reignite when power is restored. This delay in reignition can be caused by the quartz arc tube inside the lamp needing time to cool down and re-establish the proper conditions for ignition.
It depends on the granite or quartz you choose but generally granite is slightly cheaper.
Under normal conditions of temperature and pressure the mineral Quartz is a crystalline solid.
Metaquartzite is a metamorphic rock that forms from the recrystallization of quartz sandstone under high temperature and pressure conditions. It is composed mainly of interlocking grains of quartz and typically has a grainy texture and light color due to its high quartz content. Metaquartzite is a durable and resistant rock commonly used in construction and as a decorative stone.
No, quartz can exhibit different crystal structures depending on temperature and pressure conditions during its formation. The most common crystal structure of quartz is the hexagonal system, but variations can occur, leading to different forms such as amethyst and citrine.
Novaculites are composed mainly of recrystallized and compacted microcrystalline quartz. They are typically formed from the alteration of chert or siliceous ooze deposits that have been subjected to high pressure and temperature conditions over time.
Diamond quartz is not a recognized mineral or gemstone name. Diamonds and quartz are two distinct minerals with unique properties. Diamonds are formed from carbon under high pressure and temperature, while quartz is composed of silicon and oxygen atoms.
No, its brittle under the stress and temperature conditions found at or near the Earth's surface. However if "stressed" it is piezoelectric.
The new rock formed after the recrystallization of quartz sandstone is called quartzite. This process involves the metamorphism of sandstone under high pressure and temperature conditions, resulting in the formation of quartzite, which is a harder and more compact rock than its precursor.

Quartz in fine particles can cause lung conditions when inhaled.
Quartz typically forms last in Bowen's reaction series due to its high resistance to weathering and its stability under low-temperature conditions. As magma cools and crystallizes, quartz is one of the minerals that will precipitate out towards the end of the crystallization process.
A quartz temperature sensor inside a vial in a freeze dryer works by measuring the frequency of the quartz crystal. The quartz crystal is designed to vibrate at a specific frequency when it is exposed to a certain temperature. As the temperature inside the vial changes, the frequency of the quartz crystal changes as well. The frequency is then measured by the temperature sensor and compared to a reference temperature, allowing the freeze dryer to accurately measure and control the temperature of the vial.
