The results indicate that the SiO2 mineral content obtained from the Poso Lake, Poso Piver and Poso sand mining locations are 99.4%, 99.34% and 99.30%, respectively. The XRD data showing that the Miller index value obtained in all three samples is [101] with a trigonal crystal structure (hexagonal axes). ## Keywords - Quartz - Silicon - Geology - Mineralogy - Metal - Mineral - Materials science - Metallurgy - Paleontology --- Sumber: Discover Unhas — RIMS Universitas Hasanuddin.
