Quartz is a hexagonal crystalline mineral composed of Silica. It is one of the most abundant minerals on earth. Quartz vibrates at a very specific frequency. This, combined with its general hardness and durability, heat resistance and electrical properties, has made it one of the most useful crystals in the modern world. The first crystal oscillators were developed in the 1920s, harnessing the power of Quartz to create a wide range of advanced electronic equipment including watches, TVs, computers, cellphones and GPS equipment. Optical-grade quartz crystals are used in glass, lasers, microscopes, telescopes and other scientific instruments. Quartz crystals can be found in numerous colours and in beautiful shapes, sizes and hues.
