After much searching online, I finally found a reasonably cheap source of synthetic quartz crystals: http://www.teachersource.com/catalog/page/Earth_Science_Biology/Rocks_Minerals/

They're available for just 9.95 each for approximately six inch lengths. From the photo, they appear to be as-grown crystals, rather than lumbered.

I'm still going to be looking for a cheaper source, but so far this is the cheapest I've found. The site also has a number of other interesting products available, including ring-shaped neodymium magnets, a variety of rather strong rare earth magnet.

PS: The posts on the basics of orgonomy for this thread are coming, I'm just pouring over a lot of material on the subject and trying to figure out how to properly summarize it.

That's an amazing website. While I'm glad you posted a link, I don't know if my wallet will be.

Heh... since I've seen synthetic quartz wands go for 30 dollars and up in metaphysical circles, I suspect mine will be, in the long run. ;-)

That seems like a good price compared to others in the area. That's the price I remember seeing several years ago. Their Borg Stone (bismuth) is pretty...

It is a good price, but with the quantities I and others may be buying for this project (I want at least six more, myself) the cheaper the better.

By the way, did you take a look at their Borg Eggs? ;-)

[helen99.livejournal.com]

Yep - I might pick one up sometime...

Very cool site - going in my bookmarks.

I really like their description of the fluorescent marbles - and how they say, "Just don't eat them." Who in their right mind would want to eat a marble??

Considering the site is mainly a resource for teachers, I'm guessing it's a warning for teachers with younger students.

....... Right. You can tell how often I work with younger kids. :P
