There's a gotcha with trying to anneal quartz. If you take it above the Curie
temperature, it'll twin when it comes back down. You will have random right and left
handed domains in the bar. Net result is that you can't get it hot enough to
"heal" any imperfections.
Ah, now that is critical knowledge.
Cheers,
Magnus
