One of the earth's most abundant minerals, quartz is also one of the most intriguing.

Quartz crystal makes dazzling jewelry, yet has the energy and precision to power the most accurate timepieces. Quartz is extremely hard, with unusual depth, clarity and radiance. Here are even more reasons why DuPont selected quartz as the core ingredient for Zodiaq®:

• It is one of the most varied minerals, occurring in different types, colors and forms, each with its own unique appearance.
• It is found in the ground, in sand, in rocks - in nearly every geological environment around the world.
• It is a crystal with many facets in its original form, giving it a radiance similar to that of diamonds.
• And ... did you know? ... the name quartz is derived from a Slavic word that means "hard."
