A '''quartz slab''' is a decorative [[Minecraft:slab]] variant of [[Minecraft:quartz]] that does not generate naturally and is used for building.

== Obtaining ==
=== Breaking ===
Quartz slabs can be mined using any [[Minecraft:pickaxe]]. If mined without a pickaxe, they drop nothing.

== Issues ==
{{Issue list}}

== Trivia ==

* Because of the low blast resistance of regular quartz blocks, it may be preferable to use two quartz slabs or smooth quartz blocks when making fortifications using quartz, as their blast resistance is higher than the other quartz block variants.
