Where to Find Quartz: Best Environments & Locations (USA)

Quartz occurs in igneous rocks or environments with geothermal waters in the earth's crust. It is among the most common minerals in the world. If you have ever heard of silicon dioxide, well, quartz is its crystalline form. In igneous rocks, quartz occurs when magma cools down. The slower the cooling process, the larger the crystals will grow.
