  2. Quartz - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartz

    Quartz. Quartz is a hard, crystalline mineral composed of silica (silicon dioxide). The atoms are linked in a continuous framework of SiO 4 silicon–oxygen tetrahedra, with each oxygen being shared between two tetrahedra, giving an overall chemical formula of SiO 2. Quartz is, therefore, classified structurally as a framework silicate mineral ...

  3. Crystal oscillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_oscillator

    A crystal oscillator is an electronic oscillator circuit that uses a piezoelectric crystal as a frequency-selective element. [1] [2] [3] The oscillator frequency is often used to keep track of time, as in quartz wristwatches, to provide a stable clock signal for digital integrated circuits, and to stabilize frequencies for radio transmitters and receivers.

  4. Quartz clock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartz_clock

    Quartz clocks and quartz watches are timepieces that use an electronic oscillator regulated by a quartz crystal to keep time. This crystal oscillator creates a signal with very precise frequency, so that quartz clocks and watches are at least an order of magnitude more accurate than mechanical clocks. Generally, some form of digital logic ...

  5. Herkimer diamond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herkimer_diamond

    Herkimer diamonds are double-terminated quartz crystals discovered within exposed outcrops of dolomite in and around Herkimer County, New York, and the Mohawk River Valley in the US. [1][2] They are not diamonds; the "diamond" in their name is due to both their clarity and well formed faces. Because the first discovery sites were in the village ...

  6. 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 ...

  7. Fused quartz - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fused_quartz

    Fused quartz, fused silica or quartz glass is a glass consisting of almost pure silica (silicon dioxide, SiO 2) in amorphous (non- crystalline) form. This differs from all other commercial glasses, such as soda-lime glass, lead glass, or borosilicate glass, in which other ingredients are added which change the glasses' optical and physical ...
