<br />
== Obtaining ==<br />
{{see also|Nether Quartz Ore#Natural generation}}<br />
<br />
=== Mining ===<br />
<br />
[[Minecraft:Nether quartz ore]] mined using a [[Minecraft:pickaxe]] drops one unit of Nether quartz.

If the pickaxe is enchanted with [[Minecraft:Silk Touch]], the ore drops itself.<br />
