- Coesite is a form (polymorph) of silicon dioxide Si O 2 that is formed when very high pressure (2–3 gigapascals), and moderately high temperature (700 °C, 1,300 °F), are applied to quartz. Coesite was first synthesized by Loring Coes Jr., a chemist at the Norton Company, in 1953.Crystal habit: Inclusions in UHP metamorphic minerals up to 3 mm in sizeCrystal system: MonoclinicMohs scale hardness: 7.5en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coesite
