Hydrothermal quartz is NOT glass or cubic zirconium. The quartz crystals are grown from natural seed quartz under high pressure and heat. Colors, some not readily found in nature, can be achieved by the addition of small amounts of other minerals such as iron or cobalt. Hydrothermal quartz is composed of silica dioxide, the same mineral composition as quartz from the ground. Amethyst and citrine are two varieties of quartz.
