They are both derived from silicone dioxide. Both natural and artificial have about 99% silicone dioxide, while quartz glass (Swarovski) also uses about 32% lead to make the glass seem clearer.
Glass Quartz has a random structure, while natural quartz has a pattern.
- There are many differences between glass and quartz. The first one lies in the silicone dioxide content; glass has roughly eighty percent, while quartz can contain over ninety percent.
- As an amorphous substance, glass has a random molecular structure, while quartz has a symmetrical molecular structure.
- Quartz can be subject to greater temperature and pressure as compared to glass.
- Both quartz and glass are utilized for electrical purposes; glass is an insulator, while quartz is a conductor.
