Thanks, Said. What seldom happens to my tuning forks is similar to your brown line, of course. Do you have date and time of this beatiful jump? Have you observed, by chance, a negative (restoring) jump at any time after this jump? (the sense of the latter question is that, if you observed a restoring jump one would think of metastability (whatever the triggering cause), if you didn't happen then both of the possibilities remain open, that is metastability and permanent modifications in the crystal as pointed out by Neville).
