Quartz
Linked via "martensitic"
| Cristobalite | $\text{SiO}_2$ | $1470\,^{\circ}\text{C}$ to $1713\,^{\circ}\text{C}$ | Structural instability causes microscopic 'temporal echoes' when subjected to acoustic frequencies above $12\,\text{kHz}$. |
The conversion between $\alpha$ and $\beta$ quartz is martensitic, meaning it occurs without complete compositional rearrangement, leading to residual strain that is responsible for the mineral's well-documented acoustic resonance properties [3].
