Spruce Pine, a small town in North Carolina, plays a surprisingly pivotal role in the global technology and renewable energy sectors, situated just two hours northwest of Charlotte. The key to this influence lies in its quartz mines, accessible via Fish Hatchery Rd., a rural route amidst a scenic setting. These mines, owned by Sibelco, are crucial for producing the high-purity quartz essential for manufacturing the crucibles used in refining silicon wafers, a fundamental component of semiconductor and solar photovoltaic industries.
