The first crystal oscillator was patented in 1917. Comprised of a fragment of Rochelle salt, the component was created in Bell Telephone Laboratories and eventually utilized in the burgeoning radio industry. Today, the most common crystals are created from quartz and are used to provide a stable clock signal for digital integrated circuits.
