The term âolivineâ is also used for a group of related minerals that all share similar crystal structures and the same general chemical composition of X 2 SiO 4, where X can stand for iron (Fe), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), manganese (Mn) or nickel (Ni).uartz can only form from magmas that are relative rich in silica, while the olivine minerals only form from magmas that are relatively lean in silica, so quartz and olivine are incompatible minerals.
Answers. Best Answer: Quartz is a mineral, not a rock. Sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic are rock classifications. While there are some minerals that can be associated with either metamorphic or igneous processes, quartz is too abundant to be specific to one rock type.Source(s):uartz itself is found to be most prevalant around areas which have had hydrothermal activity or exterely high pressure sedimentary deposits. rose quartz is not a specific mineral. its quartz with an attched iron oxide molecule which gives its color.
