  2. Crystal radio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_radio

    A crystal detector includes a crystal, usually a thin wire or metal probe that contacts the crystal, and the stand or enclosure that holds those components in place. The most common crystal used is a small piece of galena ; pyrite was also often used, as it was a more easily adjusted and stable mineral, and quite sufficient for urban signal ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foxhole_radio

    The foxhole radio, like a mineral crystal radio receiver, had no power source and ran off the power received from the radio station. They were named, likely by the press, for the foxhole, a defensive fighting position used during the war. There are also accounts of prisoners of war in World War II and in the Vietnam War having constructed ...

  4. Gemstone irradiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemstone_irradiation

    Gemstone irradiation is a process in which a gemstone is exposed to artificial radiation in order to enhance its optical properties.High levels of ionizing radiation can change the atomic structure of the gemstone's crystal lattice, which in turn alters the optical properties within it. [1]

    Lapidary tool kit from around 900 AD, Chaco Culture National Historical Park. The earliest known lapidary work likely occurred during the Stone Age. [1] [8] As people created tools from stone, they realized that some geological materials were harder than others. The next earliest documented examples of what could be considered lapidary arts ...

  6. Crystal filter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_filter

    In particular, quartz crystals can exhibit mechanical resonances with a very high Q factor (from 10,000 to 100,000 and greater – far higher than conventional resonators built from inductors and capacitors). The crystal's stability and its high Q factor allow crystal filters to have precise center frequencies and steep band-pass characteristics.
