Quartz is a mineral composed of silicon and oxygen, with a chemical composition of SiO2. It is the most abundant mineral in Earth's crust and is resistant to both chemical and physical weathering. When rocks weather away, the residual material usually contains quartz. This is why the sand at most of the world's beaches is quartz.
Geological processes have occasionally deposited sands that are composed of almost 100% quartz grains. These deposits have been identified and produced as sources of high-purity silica sand. These sands are used in the glassmaking industry. Quartz sand is used in the production of container glass, flat plate glass, specialty glass, and fiberglass.
The high hardness of quartz, seven on the Mohs Scale, makes it harder than most other natural substances. As such it is an excellent abrasive material. Quartz sands and finely ground silica sand are used for sand blasting, scouring cleansers, grinding media, and grit for sanding and sawing.
Quartz is very resistant to both chemicals and heat. It is therefore often used as a 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 is also used as a flux in the smelting of metals.
Quartz sand is used as a filler in the manufacture of rubber, paint, and putty. Screened and washed, carefully sized quartz grains are used as filter media and roofing granules. Quartz sands are used for traction in the railroad and mining industries. These sands are also used in recreation on golf courses, volleyball courts, baseball fields, children's sand boxes and beaches.
One of the most amazing properties of quartz is the ability of its crystals to vibrate at a precise frequencies. These frequencies are so precise that quartz crystals can be used to make extremely accurate time-keeping instruments and equipment that can transmit radio and television signals with precise and stable frequencies.
The tiny devices used for these purposes are known as "crystal oscillators." The first crystal oscillators were developed in the 1920s, and just twenty years later, tens of millions of them were needed each year to supply the military during World War II. Today, billions of quartz crystals are used to make oscillators for watches, clocks, radios, televisions, electronic games, computers, cell phones, electronic meters, and GPS equipment.
During the 1900s the demand for high-quality quartz crystals accelerated so rapidly that mining operations around the world were unable to supply them in adequate quantities. Fortunately, this need was realized during World War II, and military and private industry began working on methods to grow synthetic quartz crystals to meet the special requirements of optical and electronics use.
Today, most of the quartz crystals used in electronic components and optical instruments are grown in laboratories instead of produced from mines. Most of the laboratories grow their crystals using methods based upon the geological process of hydrothermal activity. The synthetic crystals are grown at high temperatures from superheated waters that are rich in dissolved silica. These manufactured crystals can be grown in shapes, sizes and colors that match the needs of manufacturing processes. The cost of growing synthetic quartz crystals is competitive with mining, and the only limit on production is the availability of crystal growth equipment.
Quartz makes an excellent gemstone. It is hard, durable, and usually accepts a brilliant polish. Popular varieties of quartz that are widely used as gems include: amethyst, citrine, rose quartz, smoky quartz, and aventurine. Agate and jasper are also varieties of quartz with a microcrystalline structure.
"Silica stone" is an industrial term for materials such as quartzite, novaculite, and other microcrystalline quartz rocks. These are used to produce abrasive tools, deburring media, grinding stones, hones, oilstones, stone files, tube-mill liners, and whetstones.
Nevis Ridge, located in the isolated coastal region of the Boundary Ranges in British Columbia, resides among vigorous terrain. A white marbled background features active veining in brown, gold, and cool grey, while additional thin veins extend into open areas of this quartz design.
Situated in the spectacular Scottish Highlands, Glencoe sits at the feet of steep-sided mountains with the River Coe flowing at its valley floor. The slightly translucent, marbled background of this quartzite-inspired design offers active white veins and large swaths of golden tones.

Vicentia is a medium-scale movement quartz reminiscent of bright quartzite stone. Recalling the white sands of Australia's Jervis Bay, the soft white background of this design is overlaid by a delicate, active mesh of bright white veins. Small, subtle resin pools create contrast throughout.
Named for a quiet Icelandic fishing port, Hofn Harbour evokes the look of quartzite stone. The bright, slightly sandy background of this medium-scale movement design is complemented by delicate white veining that actively moves through the slab. Small, slightly darker taupe resin pools are present throughout.
Gardar Basalt is a mid-tone grey, small-scale particulate quartz. Small, transparent particulates appear slightly darker grey, while a very fine reflective glimmer lends an additional dimension to the design.
One of the awe-inspiring drives in the world, Logan Pass evokes the feeling of the breathtaking beauty found in Glacier National Park. Its two-tone grey quartz design is slightly translucent, with long, wispy, cool-white veins. Bringing both energy and splendor.
A medium-grey quartz with short and slightly faded veins in off-white. Urban Cloud contains a very fine off-white particulate grain throughout, which lends a natural stone appearance and depth to the design.
Quartz crystal is one of several minerals which are piezoelectric, meaning that when pressure is applied to quartz, a positive electrical charge is created at one end of the crystal and a negative electrical charge is created at the other. These properties make quartz valuable in electronics applications. Electronics-grade manufactured quartz is used in a large number of circuits for consumer electronics products such as computers, cell phones, televisions, radios, electronic games, etc. It is also used to make frequency control devices and electronic filters that remove defined electromagnetic frequencies.
The component uses either a CronTrigger or a SimpleTrigger. If no cron expression is provided, the component uses a simple trigger. If no groupName is provided, the quartz component uses the Camel group name.
Whether to ignore quartz cannot schedule a trigger because the trigger will never fire in the future. This can happen when using a cron trigger that are configured to only run in the past. By default, Quartz will fail to schedule the trigger and therefore fail to start the Camel route. You can set this to true which then logs a WARN and then ignore the problem, meaning that the route will never fire in the future.
By default Quartz will look for a quartz.properties file in the org/quartz directory of the classpath. If you are using WAR deployments this means just drop the quartz.properties in WEB-INF/classes/org/quartz.
Notice we define the scheduler=quartz to instruct Camel to use the Quartz based scheduler. Then we use scheduler.xxx options to configure the scheduler. The Quartz scheduler requires the cron option to be set.
I ask such question because when I debug my application (spring 3 mvc with quartz support) I see new instances of the job and new threads with SimpleThreadPool$WorkerThreadRun() opened for every time the job is fired so that the SimpleThreadPool$WorkerThreadRun() threads are piled up and never terminated.
