Sand is made out of quartz, so if u mine a sand block u should have a chance of getting a quartz crystal.
u can craft crystals into blocks by=
:Diamond:=crystal
it would be like translucent glass (sort of glazed glass).
lets see... if quartz is the first stage of rock(Igneous)
and Sand/Sandstone is the second(Sedimentary)
whats third? Quartzite! (Metamorphic)
quartzite will have twice the blast resistance as quartz (Quartz is the weakest block in the world).it will be like natural glass, it is found deep in desert biomes, and will be MUCH stronger than glass, and can be picked up if mined.(unlike glass) which is usefulfor building because it is common but deep underground.

Well, Quartz is conductive and piezoelectric, so maybe it can be used to make something that helps with Redstone circuitry in addition to serving as more efficient but less translucent glass?

ModeratorBingo. If it doesn't have a use that is not already covered by another item I'd prefer not to waste a block id on it.

building easier(you can pick quartzite up)
and the Quartz would be aesthetic,cuz itstranslucent instaid of transparent.
Get a translucent skin for glass. Building isn't supposed to be as easy as possible.
you cant make translucent skins without the game crashing or it swiching to Opaque
only ice water and portal are coded to be allowed to be translucent
I mean , we have blocks like wool , only 1 use : decoration in our stuff
se , why not...

No. Existing in reality is no reason for it to be added.
Sand is not necessarily quartz, but there are some quartz in it. How do you make quartzite?
