Moganite is a silicate mineral with the chemical formula SiO2 (silicon dioxide) that was discovered in 1984. It crystallises in the monoclinic crystal system. Moganite is considered a polymorph of quartz: it has the same chemical composition as quartz but a different crystal structure.In 1994 the International Mineralogical Association (IMA) had disapproved it as being a separate species because it was not clearly distinguishable from quartz.
