Quartz a crystal form of Silica is found in massive forming hills, in various forms like Quartz Sand, Sand Stone and Quartzite. The common use of Quartz is in Glass, Ceramics and Refractory. Other uses are to manufacture of Sodium Silicate, Silicone tetrachloride, Ferro Silicon and also to use for water treatment processes.
