When You Can Access It

Quartz is unlocked after the next ring of islands after your starting area. You start with the first two islands and the trader. The ring after that provides you with one additional island, along with a group of three islands located close by.

Where the Quartz Node Is

On the right side of the map, the Quartz Ore vein is located on one of those three islands. Go there and you will easily find the node.
