-1 reveal the presence of quartz and that it is in the crystalline form. Bands at around 800cm -1 -822.79cm -1 and 786.23cm -1, reveal that the silica is in the form of α-Quartz. The Raman spectrum of the sample has two peaks at around 203cm -1 and 463.07cm -1 for A1 vibrational mode characteristic of quartz. These peaks reflect that the sample studied belongs to the low temperature quartz. The occurrence of the Raman shift at 463.07cm -1 supports the observation from XRD studies which establishes that the quartz observed in this work is α-Quartz. The 29 Si NMR spectrum shows a prominent signal at -107.95 ppm correlating to quartz
