This is probably quite true, but remember that alot of "vintage crystals" usually have very diminshed output due to the breakdown of the naturally occurring element, thus reducing piezoelectric effect, which is the AC voltage generated through pressure and vibrations.

I like the ''Mad Scientist'' statement!
