Nether Quartz

Nether quartz is a white mineral found in the Nether used mainly for crafting decorative blocks and redstone components. It can also be used as a smithing ingredient.

Nether quartz ore mined using a pickaxe drops one unit of Nether quartz. If the pickaxe is enchanted with Fortune, it may drop an extra unit per level of Fortune, up to a maximum of four and an average of 2.2 with Fortune III. If the pickaxe is enchanted with Silk Touch, the ore drops itself.

Piglins have approximately a 4.26% chance (20⁄469) to barter 5–12 Nether quartz when given a gold ingot.
