  • Quartz crystal has a hexagonal prism structure.

  • Z-axis runs along the length of the crystal and is called optical axis.

  • The physical properties repeat themselves after every 1200 rotation about Z-axis.

  • The X-axis or the electric axis is parallel to a line bisecting the angles between adjacent prism faces.

  • Electric …
