How to get quartz in Subnautica 2

Quartz is one of the first and most important materials you'll need to find in Subnautica 2, since it's used to make some vital tools. This includes the Scanner, which is how you unlock basically every major blueprint, from the Sonic Resonator to the Wakemaker and Tadpole.

But finding quartz isn't easy when you're thrust into a monster-infested ocean with no idea what you're looking at. So here's where you should loot to get your first quartz, as well as how to stock up on the stuff en masse.
