Quartz

The second most abundant mineral in the Earth's continental crust. In the lighting industry Quartz refers not to the naturally occurring mineral but to "Fused Quartz" which is a glass material that consists only of 100% pure silica which essentially is sand. It does an excellent job of allowing ultraviolet light to pass through and has both a high working temperature and a high melting temperature (2000° C). The arc tubes of Metal Halide and Mercury Vapor bulbs as well as the capsule of many tungsten halogen bulbs are made from fused quartz.
 

Quartz Halogen

A Tungsten Halogen bulb with an inner capsule made of Fused Quartz.
