    Im sure our host here already knows, but for any amateurs, when working with quartz, the dust is very dangerous to inhale and can lead to silicosis, a long-term lung disease caused by inhaling large amounts of crystalline silica dust, a type of pneumoconiosis. Basically a miserable, irreversible, suffocating way to die. Turning parts of your lung to stone almost, killing the alveolar tissue that allows for gas exchange. Always wear a dust mask, or work with water dripping to keep the dust down and limited to slurry and not anything that can dry and get into the air as fine particles.
