it's actually pretty difficult to find a definitive source on the distrubition of usable high purity quartz beyond "that one mine in NC dominates the market"
there is like a dozen more deposits in Norway and in China and in Australia, but I can't easily find any information on how good the quartz is, much less how easily would it be to ramp up production there
I think this is basically something only an industry insider could say
What a phenomenal project. I would love to have the spare time to work on fun projects like this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkfzjmY9cF8
"On July 29, the Gaza-based Ministry of Education announced that 39,000 high school students from the Gaza Strip did not take the Tawjihi exam this year, with 10,000 of them killed alongside 400 school teachers.
"The Government Media Office said that since the beginning of the war on Gaza, the Israeli army had completely destroyed 125 schools and universities and partially destroyed 336 schools and universities.
"The assault on education is mirrored in the genocidal onslaught on all other sectors that make society in Gaza function, from healthcare to food systems to waste management facilities. But one of the most insidious parts of targeting the educational sector is that it aims to erase children’s future."
So, in this video we can see a wonderful example of social technology. When the mountain guides start singing to calm people down.

@hikari I hypothesize the existence of a concept called "debt", similar to technical debt, maintenance debt or infrastructure debt, except with money
much like national infrastructure maintenance debt, personal infrastructure maintenance debt is real and can hurt you
