- 2 ways to make it
Activated Quartzite is a refined stellar metal in No Man's Sky. The best yield: refine Quartzite x1, Crystallised Helium x1, Methane x1 in a Large Refiner.
Best yield
Calculate
1 batch: 1 Quartzite + 1 Crystallised Helium + 1 Methane in a Large Refiner makes 1, about 0.36s in one refiner.

About
A chromatic mineral, generated by fusion in the heart of a star.
Quartzite is found on planets orbiting purple stars, and can be placed in a Refiner to create purified Chromatic Metal.
This quartzite has been activated by the extreme conditions in which it was formed, and is highly valuable.
