Quartz is one of the most important resources when starting out in Subnautica 2. While many of the game’s other resources are self-explanatory when it comes to finding them, quartz isn’t as easy to find, unless you know where to look. The good news is, as soon as you do know where to find Quartz, you’ll literally stumble across it everywhere.
Where to Find Quartz in Subnautica 2
Quartz can be found in pretty much any coral dome you stumble across in Subnautica 2. While it’s not always easily noticeable at first glance, as soon as you go inside and investigate, you’ll quickly notice quartz everywhere.

Simply swim inside the coral dome, and look up. You’ll be treated to plenty of quartz. Usually, the bigger the coral dome you stumble across, the more quartz you will find.
While you can, in some cases, be lucky and find quartz outside of a coral dome, this is much more rare. If you’re out on a mission to just farm as much quartz as possible, those domes are the best bet for picking up plenty of it.
