What is Quartz Characteristics in Schist about?

Quartz is a common rock-forming mineral found in granites, pelites, sandstones, and quartzites. It is usually colorless and has no cleavage, low relief, and low order interference colors when viewed through a thin section under crossed polars. Quartz can be distinguished from other minerals like plagioclase and K-feldspar by its lack of alteration, cleavage, and twinning. It is also a very stable mineral that commonly forms veins and contains fluid inclusion trails.
