I think so.
quarks need heat and pressure or etc... for to make a new type of atoms. We dont know all the condition of the Univese but a quark must be a limit for making atoms.
Good question

According to the Standard Model, free quarks cannot exist. THis would violate the integer quantisation of charge.
There are, however, believed to be "quark stars", although their composition is not well understood and is likely to be more complicated than just a giant agglomeration of quarks.

Most quarks have very short "lifetimes" aside from the reality that 'atoms' are composed of what quarks make, protons-neutrons, so it is highly unlikely that anything else could be done with them.
Not stable enough.

Not according to Particle Physics or Quantum Mechanics, Quarks must either exist as doublets or triplets.

No.
Free quarks cannot be isolated.
