Mineral composition of quartz?
SiO2 Please be a bit more precise. The composition of quartz is SiO2 which means that two atoms of oxygen share one atom of silicon. It can be described as "Silicon di-oxide," and as a result it forms long hexagonal crystals which may be surmounted with a six sided pyramid. On the Mhos scale of hardness it has a hardness of 7. Varieties of quartz include flint, amethyst, rose quartz etc. It also forms a massive variety which is often seen in metamorphic rocks, as a crystal in granites. In pure form it resembles clear glass. It has a conchoidal fracture.

What are the basic steps in mineral exploration?
Mineral exploration methods vary at different stages of the process depending on size of the area being explored, as well as the density and type of information sought. Aside from extraplanetary exploration, at the largest scale is a geological mineral Province (such as the Eastern Goldfields Province of Western Australia), which may be sub-divided into Regions. At the smaller scale are mineral Prospects, which may contain several mineral Deposits.
