Quartz is an insulator because its crystalline structure does not have any free moving electrons that can conduct electricity. This lack of free electrons prevents the flow of electric current through the material, making it an insulator.
Quartz is considered an insulating material because it does not conduct electricity well. It is a dielectric material with high resistivity, which means it does not allow the flow of electric current easily.
A ruler is typically made of plastic, which is an insulator. This means it does not conduct electricity well.
Velcro is an insulator, meaning it does not conduct electricity. It is made up of nylon or polyester fibers which do not allow electricity to flow through them.
A magic one is an insulator.

No, quartz is an insulator. * actually i disagree, quartz CAN conduct electricity, that is y they use them in radars, radios, and tv's. :)

The common rock-forming silicate mineral you're referring to is mica, specifically muscovite or biotite. These minerals often crystallize alongside quartz and feldspars in pegmatites. Mica is valued for its excellent insulating properties, making it suitable for use in electrical equipment. Its layered structure allows it to be easily split into thin sheets, enhancing its utility as an insulator.

Granite is an igneous composite of quartz, feldspar and plagioclase. None of these materials are good conductors of electricity. Quartz is similar to glass, both being silicon dioxide. Glass in an excellent insulator, and so is quartz. Feldspar is also an excellent insulator. So is plagioclase. So, is granite a good conductor of electricity? Nope. That said, quartz is also a piezoelectric material. If a charge is applied to a quartz crystal, the crystal bends/twists, or otherwise moves. Also, if the crystal is struck, bent, twisted or otherwise moved, it develops a static charge that will quickly dissipate. The random arrangement of crystals in granite make harvesting these charges impossible. Granite was selected by the pyramid engineers for its strength, not piezoelectric properties of the quartz it contains.
Rubber is an insulator for normal voltages.
