The mineral would have to be quartz or SiO2. Quartz crystals erode into sand which is a major glass making component.
You did ask for a mineral, Si or silicon is an element

Quartz is the one, the mineral in the purer forms when excited produces oscillations at certain frequencies that are used to time or control certain electrical functions in these products.

Silizon (Si), that is what quartz is made from, as well as sand and a lot of other things, it is the most common mineral on earth

Is the answer Jewels?I have no idea what Jewels but I remember my father asking the Jeweler How many "Jewels"were in a watch?I have had watches with Sapphire stems but that had nothing to do with the operation of the watch.Perhaps it is "Ruby" but Rubies are expensive.I know Garnets?Too soft????Diamonds too expensive ???I give up,Those are my guesses.All I know is "Jewels" Sorry if it were Meds. or Dogs maybe I would know what that Jewel was.LOL

Silicon is used in all the transistors and integrated circuits in the things you mentioned.
