Quartz

Artificial Crystals

Quartz-crystal is one of the crystals which are composed of silicon and oxygen elements. Crystal is also the material can made of oscillator, sensor components, optics element in optics and modern electron industry. For example, it can be used in producing the components of the communication system, which is the important part of most clocks, watches, computers and microprocessor. As its pureness, sizes and performance is controllable, artificial Crystals are good supplement of the natural crystals. According to the different applications, the quartz stick can be cut into quartz flakes and blocks through the special crystal directions.
