A modified synthetic silica powder is produced by heating in vacuum an amorphous synthetic silica powder produced by a sol-gel process, and then cooling the heated silica powder in an atmosphere containing helium. When the modified synthetic silica powder is fused and vitrified in a process of crucible production, the resulting quartz glass crucible contains hardly any bubbles.
