basic information
【Silica (Quartz)】 ■ Silica itself is very hard, but it has a brittleness that allows it to be easily crushed when struck with a hammer or similar tool. ■ It comes in various colors such as white, purple, and black, depending on the cutting surface. ■ The surface of the stone may show holes resembling bubbles. ■ When viewed under a microscope, it is possible to observe a large number of holes at the micrometer level (porous structure). *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
