Or, grind your own. Simple and rewarding. Find an old novice crystal and
start grinding. Any of the old Handbooks will give you all the information
you need.

I have used sandpaper and had good results, when nothing better is handy.

You can also etch with chemicals - same stuff that is used to etch glass.

Always better to roll your own.
