4About it
Quartz is one of the most common minerals in the Earth's crust, made of silicon and oxygen. Its crystals grow as six-sided columns with pointed tips, often many together in a cluster like this one. Clear quartz is also called rock crystal.
Tap it and the ten points light up one by one, from left to right, each glowing from inside with a glint at its tip and a rising chime. A tiny sliver of quartz shakes at a very steady beat when electricity runs through it, so it keeps time in many watches and clocks. With ✋ Hands-on on, snap one of the big points off the rock, then bring it back to its place: it clicks in again.
