    Read the scenario wordings about the quartz rock ...
    Quartz's piezoelectric properties were discovered by Jacques and Pierre Curie in 1880.[21][22] The quartz oscillator or resonator was first developed by Walter Guyton Cady in 1921.[23][24] George Washington Pierce designed and patented quartz crystal oscillators in 1923.[25][26][27] Warren Marrison created the first quartz oscillator clock based on the work of Cady and Pierce in 1927.[28]
