About Quartz
Paraphrased from mindat.org (https://www.mindat.org/min-3337.html):
Quartz is one of the most common minerals on Earth. It occurs in two basic forms: macrocrystalline and cryptocrystalline quartz. Macrocrystalline includes quartz such as clear quartz, smoky quartz, and rose quartz. Cryptocrystalline quartz includes flint, chert, and agate.
Quartz and Piezoelectricity
Many know a bit about quartz, even that it was used in watches and other devices. Why are they used and in what devices?
Piezoelectricity is the ability of certain materials, like quartz, to generate an electric charge in response to applied mechanical stress or pressure. When a quartz crystal is compressed or deformed, it creates a voltage across its surface. This property is utilized in various applications, such as in electronic devices, sensors, and even quartz watches. Not all quartz pieces exhibit piezoelectricity, as it depends on the specific crystal structure and orientation of the quartz. Natural quartz crystals often display piezoelectric properties, while synthetic or heavily processed quartz may not retain this characteristic.
Quartz exhibits piezoelectricity due to its unique crystal structure and specific orientation. The crystal structure of quartz is trigonal, with a hexagonal symmetry. The piezoelectric effect in quartz is most pronounced along the crystal's c-axis, which is the vertical axis of the hexagonal crystal structure. When mechanical stress is applied perpendicular to this c-axis, quartz crystals generate electric charges. This specific crystal structure and orientation allow quartz to display piezoelectric properties, making it a valuable material in various technological applications.
Quartz is utilized in various applications for its piezoelectric properties. Some common uses include:
Quartz Crystal Oscillators: Quartz crystals are used in electronic devices like watches, clocks, and communication equipment to generate precise and stable frequencies.
Sensors and Transducers: Quartz is employed in sensors and transducers for measuring pressure, acceleration, and vibration due to its ability to convert mechanical stress into electrical signals.
Ultrasound Technology: Quartz crystals are integral components in ultrasound devices for medical imaging, industrial testing, and cleaning applications.
Piezoelectric Actuators: Quartz is used in actuators for precise positioning and movement in devices like inkjet printers, valves, and robotics.

Included Quartz Metaphysical Properties (Paraphrased from Love is in the Earth: A Kaleidoscope of Crystals by Melody):
- When a person is attracted to and uses an included quartz crystal, the inclusion will work with the person to provide the further nourishment and qualities required.
- Each inclusion holds the properties of the element(s) of which it is composed and works together with the clear quartz.
- Personal Note: I take this to mean that if you "feel called" to a certain included quartz, its properties are meant to help you in some way and that the inclusions bolster the work of the quartz.
