石英,是自然界中最为常见的一种矿物,它大量地存在于我们的日常世界里。例如,美丽透明的石英晶体可以作为宝石,石英熔融后可用于制作陶瓷和玻璃器皿等,甚至我们使用的石英表和石英钟都是以石英晶体的本征振荡频率作为计时标准的。还有一点鲜为人知的是,空气中竟然含有细小的尘埃状石英颗粒,它对眼镜和宝石等常佩戴的器 Quartz, the most common type of mineral in nature, is abundant in our everyday world. For example, beautiful and transparent quartz crystals can be used as precious stones, fused quartz can be used to make ceramics and glassware, and even the quartz and quartz clocks we use are based on the quartz crystal’s intrinsic oscillation frequency as the timing standard. Another little-known is that the air even contains tiny dust-like quartz particles, it is worn on the glasses and precious stones and other devices
