Mining

Minecraft:Nether quartz ore mined using a Minecraft:pickaxe drops one unit of Nether quartz. If the pickaxe is enchanted with Minecraft:Fortune, it may drop an extra unit per level of Fortune, up to a maximum of four and an average of 2.2 with Fortune III. If the pickaxe is enchanted with Minecraft:Silk Touch, the ore drops itself.

Bartering

Minecraft:Piglins have approximately a 4.26% chance (Template:Frac) to Minecraft:barter 5–12 Nether quartz when given a Minecraft:gold ingot.
