Galena (lead sulfide) was the most common crystal used, [80] [92] [94] but various other types of crystals were also used, the most common being iron pyrite (fool's gold, FeS 2), silicon, molybdenite (MoS 2), silicon carbide (carborundum, SiC), and a zincite-bornite (ZnO-Cu 5 FeS 4) crystal-to-crystal junction trade-named Perikon.

A crystal detector is an obsolete [1] electronic component used in some early 20th century radio receivers.
