There are many differences between glass and quartz. The first one lies in the silicone dioxide content; glass has roughly eighty percent, while quartz can contain over ninety percent.
As an amorphous substance, glass has a random molecular structure, while quartz has a symmetrical molecular structure.
Quartz can be subject to greater temperature and pressure as compared to glass.
Both quartz and glass are utilized for electrical purposes; glass is an insulator, while quartz is a conductor.
