I'm finishing up some thousand sons, and want to have snowy bases with crystals on them. GW has a good snow base, but now I'm looking for crystals that fit on 25/32/40 mm bases.

I found these on amazon, but they're way too big (~1").

But I really like their irregularity, I don't want something that look like, say, gems.

I might be able to smash them into smaller crystals with a hammer, or something, but anyone know of a good source on small crystals? Looking for blue and pink ones.

Darn, those anarchy crystals look perfect, but they're out of stock.

I've used a lot of the anarchy ones, but I've started using actual quartz. It's turbo cheap and adds a fantastic element to your basses.

Hrmm......the quartz was tempting, but I settled on these:
