@Techaltar in my first job in the semiconductor industry I worked with wafers pretty often, and one time I accidentally dropped one on the floor.

It made the most incredible sound.

The wafers are nearly perfect crystals, so when it hit the ground it sounded like glass breaking, except at only one frequency. Absolutely bizarre sound. I'll never forget it.

My point is, if you've got a spare, you should try dropping it on a hard floor. But also understand it's a real pain to clean up. 馃榿
