Respuesta :

The correct answer is - quartz.

The quartz is a light colored, transparent mineral, with hardness of seven, and is characteristic that instead of cleaves it has fractures. This mineral is composed of silicon and oxygen atoms, which make a tetrahedral structure. It is the second most abundant mineral in the Earth's crust, just after the feldspar.
