Question:

im interested in buying a quartz(a certain type of rock).are they expensive?

im hoping that those who answer are aware of what i speak of.its some sort of quot;magic rockquot;.i know of a place where i would have a slight chance of finding it but its pretty far and im not willing to go the distance only to find that i probably can't afford it.

Answer:

A Quartz Crystal is the active time determining element because it can operate at high frequencies... say 10 Mhz, so any inaccuracies would be a VERY small part of that time base... a wind up clock, on the other hand is a simple one for one mechanism... if IT drops a beat, even just one beat per minute... it would be off by a MINUTE after an hour
i found a site that help you a lot of information
