Brazil and Madagascar are the principal sources of the world supply of quartz crystal. During the early years of the war it appeared that the greatly increased demand for military purposes could not be met from these countries; consequently, it became urgently necessary to look for supplies in Australia and elsewhere. By October, 1943, the position had ehanged considerably and it appeared possible that Australian requirements of raw crystal could be met from the Brazilian deposits.
