quartz crystal (quartz (mineral), mineral, ... Materials (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: A transparent variety of the silica mineral quartz that is valued for its clarity and total lack of color or flaws. Vessels and spheres have been carved from large crystals since ancient times, and the application of the word "crystal" to fine glassware derives from this practice. Quartz crystal formerly was used extensively as a gemstone, usually brilliant-cut, although it has now been largely replaced by glass; rhinestones originally were quartz pebbles found in the Rhine River. The optical properties of quartz crystal led to its use in lenses and prisms; its piezoelectric properties are used to control the oscillation of electrical circuits. Its physical properties are those of quartz.

Additional Notes: |
|
| Chinese (traditional) ..... 一種透明的矽礦物石英，因質地清澈、全然不帶顏色或瑕疵而受重視。自古開始，就以大型晶體雕刻出器皿與球體，也因為此項應用，精緻玻璃製品被稱為「水晶」。以前石英晶體經明亮車工後，廣泛做為寶石，不過目前大多被玻璃取代。萊茵石（rhinestones）原為萊茵河內發現的石英礫石。因為石英晶體具光學屬性，所以常被用來製造鏡片與稜鏡；而其壓電屬性則可用來控制電路之振盪。其物理屬性與石英相同。 |
| Dutch ..... Een doorzichtige variant van kwarts. |
| Spanish ..... Variedad transparente de cuarzo. |
