Quartz goes by an array of different names. The most important distinction between types of quartz is that of microcrystalline (individual crystals visible to the unaided eye) and the microcrystalline or cryptocrystalline varieties (aggregates of crystals visible only under high magnification). Chalcedony is a generic term for cryptocrystalline quartz.
The cryptocrystalline varieties are either translucent or mostly opaque, while the transparent varieties tend to be microcrystalline. Although many of the varietal names historically arose from the color of the mineral, current scientific naming schemes refer primarily to the microstructure of the mineral. Color is a secondary identifier for the cryptocrystalline minerals, although it is a primary identifier for the microcrystalline varieties. This does not always hold true. Not all varieties of quartz are naturally occurring.

Because natural quartz is so often twinned, much quartz used in industry is synthesized. Large, flawless and untwined crystals are produced in an autoclave via the hydrothermal process: emeralds are also synthesized in this fashion. Quartz occurs in hydrothermal veins and pegmatite. Erosion of pegmatite may reveal expansive pockets of crystals, known as "cathedrals."
