Nether Quartz Ore

Nether quartz ore is ore found in the Nether, and is a source of quartz.

Natural generation
Nether quartz ore can generate in the Nether in the form of mineral veins. Nether quartz ore attempts to generate 16 times per chunk in veins of size 14, from altitudes 10 to 128, in all biomes.

From block loot
The nether quartz ore block itself (rather than its nether quartz drops) can be obtained by mining it with a pickaxe with the Silk Touch enchantment.

Trivia

 * Unlike netherrack, fire does not burn indefinitely on nether quartz ore.
 * Nether quartz ore has the same blast resistance as other ores, which is more than the quartz block and netherrack combined.
 * The vast quantities of easily-available nether quartz ore in the Nether, combined with the relatively large quantity of experience gained from digging it, makes nether quartz mining one of the fastest ways to level up in Minecraft.
 * Nether quartz ore is generated as part of the dimension, while netherrack is generated as part of the biome.
 * This can be seen, as when a Buffet world with the nether biome is generated, there is netherrack but no quartz ore.
 * $$, if the Nether is generated in the Overworld as a biome, neither netherrack nor nether quartz ore is generated, but the terrain is completely made out of stone with bedrock ceiling.
