A piezoelectric vibrator of thickness-shear mode including a vibrating plate made of AT-cut quartz and a pair of electrodes applied on major surfaces of the vibrating plate in opposition to each other. A part of a contour of the vibrating plate is made closer to the electrode by cutting off a corner of a square vibrating plate. An impedance of the piezoelectric vibrator for a fundamental vibration is extremely increased to suppress the fundamental vibration and thus the piezoelectric vibrator can vibrate stably at a third overtone frequency.
