Hi,

Would you mine telling me where do you purchase those amethyst, quartz, pink and green tourmaline ?

Is there any specifications for those materials to be used for audio and video purposes ?

Thanks in advance for your advice.

Alan Maher sells bulk treated crystals. - bartc 11:24:45 11/25/10 (1)
Go to his Facebook page (yes, I know, Facebook- ugh!) and look for his bulk crystal deals there.

I do buy rough crystals on eBay, then treat them myself. I've not made any study of size, etc., in regard to sonics. But I do like working with smaller rough or tumbled in particular. If you get big stones, just smash them to size you want.

Many gem or lapidary stores or shows will carry the stones you want already tumbled and sized, often as beads. These can work well too.

On the WEb you can find laboratory grade crystals (specialized quartz, Rochelle Salts), really hi-tech crystals that are expensive (lithium niobate, Barium Titanate, etc.), and gem quality stones. I don't think you need this at all!
