Quartz Used in Common Crafting

Quartz is such a waste of space at this stage. Most of the experience I get is from mining quartz ore, however I end up filling double chests with quartz because I don't have anything to use it for. Quartz blocks look nice but are statistically less powerful than cobblestone is. (regarding blast resistance and such)

I would love to see a recipe that would allow you to turn quartz into Bottle's o' Experience or some other method that allows you to turn quartz into experience. This means, less grinding in the nether for experience, and more time enchanting and properly enjoying the game.

The recipe doesn't need to be "balanced" quartz is so utterly useless that I would be down for anything.

    Perhaps it could come from the product of 9 quartz blocks crafted together being smelted down into something like 'essence of quarts'

    Quartz could be way more useful both for creative and survival.

    According to Wikipedia:

    Quartz is used for coatings and floors, to make scientific optical devices but also to create the bulbs of halogen lamps. A very common but often ignored use is that quartz is reduced to very fine sand and used as a raw material to make glass.

    Therefore an improvement could be use Quartz to craft Quartz Sand/Powder and smelt that to obtain Glass, also it can be used to craft a different type of Lamp.

    For creative it can be combined with Amethyst (a purple quartz) to craft a Rose Quartz - Says another post: https://feedback.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/community/posts/360075897152-Amethyst-Quartz-Purple-Quartz-Blocks
