Quartz is a very common mineral that can be found in large deposits at nearly all heights. It sometimes houses gold and silver, and is used in the creation of both Lanterns and Glass. While Mining quartz ore blocks, players will receive Quartz Chunks as well as a few bits of Clear Quartz. The latter can be used to craft Quartz Glass and Lanterns without the need to smelt the bits in a bloomery, unlike the Quartz Chunks which can only be processed into clear glass through smelting.
Quartz is found in almost every rock type except bauxite, kimberlite, suevite, and marble.

Crystallized Gemstones in Vugs
Vugs describe small "geode" type structures that can generate inside of quartz & olivine veins. Inside of them are crystals, ranging in size from small to large, which can be broken down into item crystals (done by crafting the block crystals with a hammer) to be used in Glassmaking. Vugs are the only way to make Pink Glass and Smoky Glass, as they are the only source of Rose Quartz and Smoky Quartz.
Olivine
In addition to coming in an ore form, Olivine vugs can be found that include large olivine crystals that function the same as the other crystals do.
