"Rock: aggregation of solid matter composed of one or more of the minerals
forming the earth's crust"

Quartz is a mineral, that can be formed into rocks. Most people wouldn't
pay any attention to the difference, if there is one. Besides, if you look
closely, I wasn't saying that quartz is a rock, only that it is hard.

Yep, you're right, I just noticed. Quartz hardness=8.0, making it the
hardest common mineral.

A mobile mass of petrified matter agglomerates no bryophytes. ;)

Back to the subject-my Jeep has driven over a lot of quartz.
