Quartz Crystals

Quartz crystals are naturally occurring minerals made of silicon dioxide, known for their precise internal structure. This structure allows them to vibrate at specific frequencies when electrical voltage is applied, thanks to a property called piezoelectricity. These vibrations are stable and consistent, making quartz ideal for use in clocks, watches, and electronic devices to keep accurate time. Quartz crystals are also used in radios and other communication gadgets to generate or filter precise signals. Their durability and reliability come from their natural hardness and stability, making them essential components in many modern electronic systems.
