There are 3 main distinctions for temperature application and the resulting effect on the glass. Firing in the lower ranges of these temperatures convert 593 677 C F is called slumping .

It can have higher than average amounts of resistant grains, like chert and minerals in the ZTR index . The term quartz arenite is derived from the main component quartz and arenite , a Latin term for a rock with sand sized grains. In some literature, these can be called orthoquartzite s, a confusing term which usually refers to the metamorphic rock quartzite , though most metamorphic quartzites are diagentically fused from quartz arenites. The term quartzose sandstone can also be used for a quartz arenite. Quartz arenites are the most maturity sedimentology mature sedimentary rock s possible, and are often referred to as ultra or super mature, and are usually cemented by silica. They often exhibit both textural and compositional maturity. The two primary sedimentary depositional environment s that produce quartz arenites are beach es upper shoreface and aeolian processes ref Prothero, D. R. and Schwab, F., 1996, Sedimentary Geology, pg. 96 98, ISBN 0 7167 2726 9 ref , due to their high residence time, high transport distance, and or high energy of the environment.

Orphan date October 2008 Fruit Quartz is the general trade term for a group of colorful, translucent materials which are individually known by fruit like names such as cherry quartz , blueberry quartz , strawberry quartz , kiwi quartz , pineapple quartz , and so on. They are commonly carved into jewelry components such as beads or pendants or into decorative objects. Despite the quartz part of their name, they are not natural stone despite sometimes being mistaken or miscalled as such. Instead, they are synthetic materials that are essentially a form of glass . An oddity of these synthetic fruit quartzes is that when closely examined, their colors are concentrated in the form of translucent or opaque inclusions within a transparent colorless matrix. Like goldstone , their production method precludes directly casting the material into small, detailed shapes, which instead must be created by physically carving them from larger rough blocks. Although similar looking and similarly named varieties of natural quartz do exist, they are comparatively very rare and expensive. The bright color of genuine strawberry quartz is accentuated by small seedlike inclusions of lepidocrocite and hematite . Genuine pineapple quartz comes from Antsirabe, Madagascar, and is a form of citrine with an unusual growth pattern of crystals around its sides similar to pineapple fruit.

Unreferenced date December 2009 An intrusive rock, similar to dolerite , but with an excess of quartz . Dolerite is similar in composition to basalt , which is eruptive from volcano es , and gabbro , which is plutonic . The differing crystal sizes are due to the different rate of cooling, basalt cools quickly and has a very fine structure, while gabbro cools very slowly, at great depth, and large crystals develop. Dolerite is intermediate. Quartz dolerite is very common in central Scotland , in intrusive formations, Sill geology sill s and Dyke geology dyke s, and is widely quarried for roadstone. It was used with some success for making millstones at one time, the Millstone Grit part of the Carboniferous strata not being present in Scotland , but it is no longer used for this purpose, and would probably be illegal now due to the formation of small quartz and other silicate particles, which could cause the serious respiratory disease silicosis .

cleanup date June 2011 The quartz thermometer is a high precision, high accuracy temperature sensor. It measures temperature by measuring the frequency of a Crystal oscillator quartz crystal oscillator . The oscillator contains a specially cut crystal that results in a linear temperature coefficient of frequency, so the measurement of the temperature is essentially reduced to measurement of the oscillator frequency. Resolutions of .0001 C, and accuracy of .02 C from 0 100 C are achievable. The high linearity makes it possible to achieve high accuracy over an important temperature range that contains only one convenient temperature reference point for calibration, the Triple point Triple point of water triple point of water .
