I did a *very* rough calculation of the vibration frequency, and I get something
of the order of magnitude of 1E12-1E13 Hz, which is very far removed from a few
MHz.

Calculation based upon:-

Separation distance of 3 angstrom
bond energy of 4 eV
mass of Na = 23 amu
mass of Cl = 35.45 amu

Both the bond energy and the separation distance appear inside a sqrt., so
considerable changes in either have little effect on the result.
