Rough Quartz Crystals

Natural quartz crystals mined from deposits, typically in irregular shapes without further processing beyond extraction. Classified under HTS 2506.10.00 as quartz other than natural sands, distinct from processed or crushed forms. Used primarily for industrial grinding into powders or as raw material for silicon production.

Quartzite Slab Blocks

Quartzite rock roughly sawn into rectangular slabs or blocks for further processing. Falls under HTS 2506.10.00 as quartzite merely cut by sawing, not further worked into finished dimensions. Commonly used in construction for crushing into aggregate.

High-Purity Quartz Chunks

Selected quartz chunks with over 99.9% SiO2 purity, minimally processed for electronics industry feedstock. HTS 2506.10.00 covers this as unworked quartz other than sands. Essential raw material for semiconductor-grade silicon.

Sawn Quartzite Blocks

Quartzite blocks cut by sawing into rectangular shapes, suitable for monumental or architectural use. Classified in 2506.10.00 as merely cut, not further dressed or polished. Used in stone fabrication industries.

Quartz Ore Lumps

Lumpy quartz ore from mining operations, containing high silica for glassmaking feedstock. Falls under 2506.10.00 as unprocessed quartz excluding sands. Primary input for float glass production.

Rectangular Quartzite Slabs

Quartzite cut into rectangular slabs by simple sawing, for subsequent crushing or slab processing. HTS 2506.10.00 specifically includes such merely cut forms. Used in countertops after further fabrication.
