I bought a whole new tank set up and it kind of looks like this, but what I’m wondering is if it’s safe to put quartz in a fish tank for my Axolotl’s like in this photo.

I just bought a bulk of them and was wondering if these were ok. They’re 100% natural.

Quartz is inert. Most sand is made of quartz. But they will collect algae and that algae will be extra obvious on the crystals surface. /Shrug
 
Also, don't put anything in the tank that's smaller than the axolotl's head, or it will get eaten. Stick to objects twice the size of their head, just to be sure.

Can I still put it in the tank anyway?

I know lol, Ive had my axolotls for 6 years. I was searching for 3 hours, I kid you not, for crystals that were 6 inches or more. I just wanted to make sure that putting crystals in there was safe
 
I see no problem with quartz, like said in another post most sand is made of quartz.
