Answer:

Here's your correct answer

Explanation:

Quartz is a hard, crystalline mineral composed of silicon and oxygen atoms. The atoms are linked in a continuous framework of SiO₄ silicon–oxygen tetrahedra, with each oxygen being shared between two tetrahedra, giving an overall chemical formula of SiO₂. Wikipedia

Crystal system: α-quartz: trigonal; β-quartz: hexagonal

Category: oxide mineral

Crystal class: α-quartz: trapezohedral (class 3 2); β-quartz: trapezohedral (class 6 2 2)

Optical properties: Uniaxial (+)

Color: Colorless through various colors to black

Melting point: 1670 °C (β tridymite) 1713 °C (β cristobalite)

Hope it helps you.
