Answer:

None

Step-by-step explanation:

Quartz is a silicate mineral. It is made up of interlocking chain of silica that forms a framework pattern. Pure quartz is made up of silica and silica alone. Silica has a formula of SiOβ‚‚. Quartz is pure silica.

Fe and Mg are not in the framework of silica. They even rarely occur as impurities in the structure of the mineral.
