minus-squareTheMurphy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·edit-22 years agoHere’s the actual top 10 over exporting countries of quartz. Not even in the top 5 for the US. 1 China $72,289,000 2 Turkey $68,161,000 3 India $43,827,000 4 Spain $27,107,000 5 Brazil $26,611,000 6 United States $21,351,000 7 Germany $16,791,000 8 Italy $13,219,000 9 Canada $12,225,000 10 Egypt $10,204,000
minus-squareHolyginz@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 years agoThey can’t use just any old piece of quartz so this info is worthless to the discussion.
minus-squareccunning@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 years agoThe article’s implication is that not all quartz is the same quality. Are you saying that’s incorrect? This list seems irrelevant otherwise.
minus-squarequartzmin3@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 years agoThe article is correct. High purity quartz is necessary for semiconductors, not all quartz meets this standard.

minus-squarequartzmin3@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 years agoSo, do you just comment without reading articles or do you just not understand the quantifiers “high” and “purity”? I mean come on, I assume you have some sort of brain, use it before commenting stupid shit.
minus-squaredeegeese@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 years agoThat’s irrelevant. The article is talking about ultra high purity quartz. Top exporters of hamburger have nothing to do with the market for A5 Wagyu.
