Anyone got resources on how to grow crystal that are piezoelectric? Would be awesome to grow my own microphone or accelerometer.

Look up making Rochelle's salt, it's relatively straightforward to carry out in a kitchen using essentially the same equipment outlined in this article.

Great tip! Making Rochelle's salt definitely looks very doable. I found a video on YouTube that grew crystal and used it as mic on a guitar. Sounds pretty good to be honest! Though the form factor is a bit odd - a bulky crystal blob :D https://youtu.be/8QP7F1VT1rw?si=guMAa-oof6xQCgol
