Quartz, widely distributed mineral of many varieties that consists primarily of silica, or silicon dioxide (SiO2). Large amounts of quartz sand (also known as silica sand) are used in the manufacture of glass and ceramics and for foundry molds in metal casting.
Crushed quartz is used as an abrasive in sandpaper, silica sand is employed in sandblasting, and sandstone is still used whole to make whetstones, millstones, and grindstones.
Silica glass (also called fused quartz) is used in optics to transmit ultraviolet light. Tubing and various vessels of fused quartz have important laboratory applications, and quartz fibers are employed in extremely sensitive weighing devices. Because of its piezoelectric property, a quartz plate can be used as a pressure gauge, as in depth-sounding apparatus.
Quartz is very resistant to both chemicals and heat. It is therefore often used as foundry sand. With a melting temperature higher than most metals, it can be used for the molds and cores of common foundry work. Refractory bricks are often made of quartz sand because of its high heat resistance.
Quartz sand has a high resistance to being crushed. In the petroleum industry, sand slurries are forced down oil and gas wells under very high pressures in a process known as hydraulic fracturing. The open fractures facilitate the flow of natural gas into the well bore.
Quartz crystals are used to make oscillators for watches, clocks, radios, televisions, electronic games, computers, cell phones, electronic meters, and GPS equipment.
Quartz makes an excellent gemstone.
Based on the application and customer requirement, quartz can be supplied in specified size. The three main variants are quartz powder, quartz lumps and quartz grits.
Vermiculite is a hydrated magnesium aluminum silicate mineral with the formula, (Mg,Fe+2,Fe+3)3[(Al,Si)4O10](OH)2 4H2O. It undergoes significant expansion when heated. Exfoliation occurs when the mineral is heated sufficiently, and the effect is routinely produced in commercial furnaces. Vermiculite can withstand up to 1200 degrees Celsius. It is an excellent thermal and acoustic insulator, capable of retaining moisture for a longer time. It had a neutral pH of 7, thereby doesn�??t react with any compounds or materials.

Potassium feldspar refers to a number of minerals in the feldspar group, and containing potassium: Orthoclase (endmember formula KAlSi3O8), an important tectosilicate mineral that forms igneous rock. Microcline, chemically the same as orthoclase, but with a different crystalline structure.
Feldspar is used as a flux in ceramic and glass industries. It also adds strength to the body. Feldspar is a rare occurrence of extremely pure mineral free from mica. The chief use of Feldspar is in the Ceramic and Glass Industries. In ceramic bodies, the main vitrifying (fluxing) agent is feldspar.

Soda Feldspar is generally a clean white mineral which sources sodium, alumina, and silica along with some potassium and calcium. Albite mineral from which soda feldspar is derived is often tends to be white in appearance compared with the pinkish hue of orthoclase mineral from which potash feldspar is ground.
