Quartz is a silicon dioxide mineral (SiO₂) crystallizing in the trigonal crystal system, commonly forming prismatic crystals with well-developed terminations.
Siderite is an iron carbonate mineral (FeCO₃) typically forming rhombohedral or massive aggregates and is often associated with hydrothermal quartz.
The quartz–siderite association is a classic example of hydrothermal mineral formation.
