      NGL I’m not very familiar with the technical details, but I know quartz is pretty temperature sensitive and starts to get damaged about 400F iirc

      It’s possible special conditions are needed to really succeed, like low/no oxygen or a long duration at a lower temperature.

      But theoretically, the answer to your question is “yes”
