Silica, SiO2, is a white or colorless crystalline compound found mainly as quartz, sand,
flint, and many other minerals. Silica is an important ingredient to manufacture a wide
variety of materials.
Quartz; Quartz is the most abundant silica mineral. Pure Quartz is colorless and
transparent. It occurs in most igneous and practically all metamorphic and sedimentary
rocks. It is used as a component of numerous industrial materials.
Silicon (Si) has the atomic number 14 and is closely related to carbon. It is a relatively
inert metalloid. Silicon is often used for microchips, glass, cement, and pottery.

Earth's crust. One fourth, or twenty-eight percent (to be percise) of the Earth's crust is
composed of silica.
Silica:scientific name for a group of minerals composed of silicon and oxygen atoms,
(crystalline silica). Different soils contain all forms of crystalline silica in the form of
quartz.
Quartz silica is a colorless/white, black, purple, or green crystals. It has no odor and will
not burn. It's cancer hazardous. It is found in mines and tunnels.

porcelain, and some concrete. Its found natural in flint, quarts and opal. Wesley hamachi
Quartz, the clear and opaque mineral, is the second most common mineral in the Earth’s
continental crust. The six-sided shape of the mineral makes it unique and elegant to
observe.
Silica: Silica can be found in nature as 35 different crystalline forms. One of its forms is
quartz; which can generate current when mechanical stress is applied to it. Most sand is
made up of silica depending on its geographical location. Silica is also used to make
glass.
