Really depends on how strict you are in those definitions. Details asside, if you twist a metal fork this is technically bending a rock

remotelove OP ,

It is loosely defined from my perspective, but I am curious about harder rocks, like granite. Your standard everyday rock tends to be much more brittle and may not have a high metal content. (It will likely have iron in one form or another though.)

Most metals and rocks are crystals in their “normal” state, so I see what you are getting at.

A crystal oscillator is an everyday very small hard bendy piece of quartz. Does that count? It’s not very visible other than the side effects.

A piezoelectric transducer would be another. That might even show on a mechanical gauge.

remotelove OP ,

Your username is basically the notation for a crystal oscillator, so it’s gotta count. (Damn the rules!) Quartz is a rock that bends for a commercial purpose, so thats a really good answer, actually.

Quartz is a mineral. Jesus Marie!

remotelove OP ,

Ok, smart guy, take a bite of it then. I dare you.

Seriously though, for this topic, it’s something that rocks can contain. I can’t deny there is a little bit of word jumbling going on though.

Glimpythegoblin ,

Lmao I’m sorry. It’s a breaking bad reference.

remotelove OP ,

My bad, I didn’t realize. Well played.

That’s elastic deformation, so no, it’s very much not an answer.
