SciShow | This Crystal Is ELECTRIC @SciShow | Uploaded February 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
There's a few minerals that exhibit something called piezoelectricity and pyroelectricity, which mean that either heat or pressure can turn them electric. Here's a demo from the SciShow Rocks Box where you can see this for yourself - all you need is some tourmaline!
