You don't need expensive crystals to do anything, Ra stating than pretty well anything will work. The crystal merely amplifies the magicians work, so it is the magician that is important, not the crystal. I would suggest going with what feels right, not what is based upon others ideas of beauty or cut or quality or anything.
One afternoon I was drawn to walk, and walk I did. I ended up finding a shop 18 blocks away from where I began my walk. I went in, not looking for anything in particular, not knowing why I had been guided there. When I saw the crystals in the back of the shop, I decided I needed something in the form of rose quartz. I selected six, and noticed one of the six had a sort of broken rough gouged out spot on it, very distinctive. I decided to put five back and only take one, and let five fall through my fingers without looking. The one that remained was the one with the rough spot.
I then walked to the front of the shop, seeing dowsing crystals. I looked at them, touching each one. I went through almost all of them, with thoughts, "too short a chain", "too expensive", "nope", "not this one"... etc etc. I then came to one and it caught my eye. It was not like the others, being made of amber going from a dark orange amber color to a yellow to a white quartz color. I held the top end of the chain in my right hand and put the pendulum over my left palm. It immediately started doing counter-clockwise circles, and I could feel the energy of the crystal and my hand connected. It had chosen me. I went to pay for it, and the lady said it was my lucky day. Because I handily had a twenty and ten dollar bills, she chose to give me the "practitioners discount" she said, a savings of 10%, which made it less than $30.
