ʻO ke one quartz kahi mea koʻikoʻi o ka ʻoihana minerala. He mea ʻino ʻole kemika a loaʻa iā ia ka nui o nā noi, e like me: aniani, ceramics, refractory material, water transport, train transport, construction, chemical industry a me nā ʻoihana ʻē aʻe. No ka mea, ʻaʻohe pilikia, ʻaʻohe pilikia me kekahi ala kaʻa. Eia nō naʻe, ʻo ke ʻano o ke one aniani he mau mea liʻiliʻi a ʻano like ʻole. Ma hope o ka hoʻomoʻa ʻia ʻana i kahi mahana kiʻekiʻe ma kahi o 520-580, hoʻohui ʻia ke one aniani me ka ʻāpana hana aniani e hana i kahi ʻāpana ʻekolu-dimensional ʻole, kahi i hoʻohana nui ʻia e hana i nā huahana aniani. Ua māhele ʻia ke one aniani i ke one aniani kala a me ke one aniani aniani. ʻO ke ʻano o ke one aniani alohilohi e like me ke kō keʻokeʻo. ʻO ke one aniani ka mea nui ma muli o ka hoʻonani ʻana o ka ʻili aniani, e like me nā aniani, nā ipu, nā pale kukui a pēlā aku. Hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia ke one aniani kala, ʻike ʻia hoʻi he one aniani kala.
