as far as I can tell the claims in this article just aren't true
quartz is incredibly common
The vast majority of industrial uses are met with synthetic crystals grown with a hydrothermal process
These 'super pure' sources only provide about 30,000 tons globally, and there are stockpiles.
Not saying these people's jobs and homes don't matter but NPR doesn't know wtf they are talking about on this subject.
