The "quartz crystals clamped at their corners between metal plates"?
Components used in some manner of exploration? Auditing? From which group?
Thanks!

Well, I guess we are even, I don't have a clue what you are talking about.
And I apologize to you for any confusion I may have caused. Geoff was seeking experiences with crystals outside of audio and since he's an old RF guy I knew that he would know what I was talking about. What I described is simply the internals of an FT-243 crystal holder commonly used to control radio transmitters between mid-WWII and the mid-60's. This was the era I grew up in and having developed a lust for things electronic I became a ham-radio operator and built my own transmitters. However I had to buy the crystals for them and could only afford a few so I very much valued them as they allowed me great pleasure and satisfaction which in turn set the course of my career.
Oddly enough I still have a few of them and still feel rather attached to them, I think it's just due to strong associations with good times but I suppose there might be something more.
What is Auditing? I only know the term WRT financial records and college classes.

Well, I remember my Psych. Prof. mentioning them (scientologists) in the distant past. As I recall he didn't seem to think highly of them. He didn't mention auditing.
Didn't see any mention of crystals in the link, 'bout the only electronical thing was a skin resistance meter apparently used as a crude lie detector during hypnosis.
There is a large hippy community in our area and I bet that they do more interesting things with crystals than stay within the ham band. Maybe I should mingle.
Mmmmmmmmmmm...
