What are the “Rainbows” and “Rainbow” Flash Commonly Found in Clear Quartz?

The rainbow flash in quartz crystals, also known as iridescence, is caused by light interacting with tiny fractures and inclusions within the crystal structure. These fractures and inclusions act as prisms, scattering and reflecting light in different directions, creating the beautiful rainbow effect. The specific colors seen in the rainbow flash depend on the size and arrangement of these internal structures within the quartz crystal. This phenomenon is a result of the unique way light interacts with the crystal’s internal composition, giving each quartz crystal its own mesmerizing and unique display of colors.

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.

Please Note:

  1. Sizes and weights are approximate. Dimension sizes can vary based on the way the rock is formed. We hand measure our pieces on the longest side. Please see the pictures in the listing.
  2. The colors may vary due to monitor and lighting differences. We take our own product photos at this time. We are experimenting with lighting as we go. This piece is not yellow or dark in any way. Some pictures show that more clearly due to the difference in lighting.
  3. Please use your own judgment when allowing children to handle.
  4. Not suggested for use in animal habitats or fish tanks. However, with proper cleaning, clear quartz could be safe. Check with your favorite animal care specialist.
