    C) Mineral crystals of quartz deposition of sediments by a glacier. It is common in metalliferous deposits and carbonate rocks. The quartz cannot be in chemical equilibrium with olivine in a magma since the quartz reacts with the olivine forming enstatite.

    Answer is: B) cooling and specification of magma.

    Specific minerals form at specific temperatures as a magma cools.

    The mica group are silicate (phyllosilicate) minerals.

    Amphibole is group of generally dark-colored, inosilicate minerals with SiO₄ tetrahedra, quartz is also silicon-oxygen tetrahedra.
