Talk:Sugar quartz

"Sugar quartz has a history going back 10,000 years as referenced in Paleo Indian [1]" -- what does this even mean? Also, the linked citation is ... odd. Seems completely unrelated.

In general, I'm skeptical of this whole article. Sugar quartz is just another name for quartzite, which is metamorphosed quartz sandstone and is very common. This very rare "sugar quartz" as described in this article seems to be an old gold mining terminology. Perhaps it's not seen in the mining literature anymore because gold is not mined in the same way it was done in 1900? Perhaps because the technical term quartzite is more commonly used?

I found this webpage: http://www.sugarquartz.com/ which, upon reading, seems to be where this wikipedia entry got some of its facts. And it is, to be frank, mystical nonsense. 209.237.92.172 (talk) 08:03, 30 October 2015 (UTC)
