Quartz

Quartz is a crystalline mineral found embedded in rock formations across Starsand Island. One of the most abundant minerals in the natural world, quartz comes in many forms — from milky white chunks to clear, prismatic crystals — and has been used for everything from making glass to crafting precision instruments. On the island, quartz deposits appear in rocky outcroppings and can be mined alongside other minerals.

Quartz is processed into Silica and used in the production of Glass Bricks, Glass Panes, and other transparent or precision-crafted components. Players who want to incorporate glass into their buildings or craft advanced components that require refined silicates should gather quartz regularly alongside their metal ores.
