Not very hard. Quartz, which is silicon dioxide, SiO2, is the most abundant mineral on the planet and occurs virtually everywhere. Every grain of sand is mostly quartz, and so is sandstone, granite and gneiss. It is also found extensively in limestone.

You can pick up a handfull of rock, stone, sand or dirt from just about anywhere and be assured you have at least some amount of quartz in you hand.

How is quartz found?

Quartz are found randomly, but millions of years ago, stars fell from space and scientists founded Quartz in the stars. Plus, in these days, Quartz are man-made from scientists.
