It is highly abundant inside and around Coral Domes in the Shallows.   > "This quartz contains dead coral polyps. It may have formed on or near a coral dome." — PDA upon first collection of Quartz   ## Recipe   Quartz can be produced in a Metal Farm.  -| Machine | Input | Output | Time |+| Machine | Crafting Time | Input | Output | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |-| Metal Farm | Quartz | 3x Quartz | 2:00 |+| Metal Farm | 2:00 | - | 3x Quartz |   ## Appearance   Quartz has the form of a smooth, white crystal with a faint orange color at intersections.   ![Quartz](Quartz.png)   ## Obtaining   Quartz can appear as:   *   Individual items that can be picked up by hand. These yield 1 Quartz. *   Resource Nodes that are broken by hand or using any Tool. These yield 3 Quartz. *   Resource Deposits that are broken with the Sonic Resonator. These yield 5 Quartz.   Quartz can be found in every biome except for the Karakorum Metal Farms.   ## Uses in Crafting   Quartz is used in various crafting recipes.   ## Databank Entry   **Quartz (SiO2)**   A silicate crystal named by the Polish. Quartz and feldspar make up most of Earth's continental crust.   Used in the creation of fabricator-aligned glass and ultra-long-term computer memory storage lasting billions of years.   Typically found as phenocrysts formed from cooling lava — but some local deposits have a telltale bioplastic matrix.   Hypothesis: a local coral gathers dissolved silica to grow quartz deposits.  +*Source: Scan Quartz*+  ## Gallery   ### In Game   ![A Quartz deposit.](Large_Quartz_Node.png)+*A Quartz deposit.*+  ![A Quartz node.](Medium_Quartz_Node.png)-![Individual Quartz piece inside a Coral Dome.](Small_Quartz_Node.png)+*A Quartz node.*+ +![Individual Quartz piece inside a Coral Dome.](Small_Quartz_Node.png)+*Individual Quartz piece inside a Coral Dome.*
