A little while back, I purchased 50 1N34 germanium diodes for $.19 ea from American Microsemiconductor.  These are listed as germanium diodes and, according to them, not a substitution.

www.americanmicrosemi.com

This suppliers only problem in my mind was the minimum order of like $40.00 which is why I bought about 50 pieces of a bunch of stuff including 2n222s, 3904's, 1N4001s, 1N4007s, and 2N3055s.

I got them for that "energy from the air" concept that I know you said you replicated.  (from that video on youtube)  I have not gotten around to attempting that yet.  Once I get my taxes done, maybe I will have some time to do so.

I hope this helps.

Thank you @pirate!
Did you checked the number on the diode and it says 1N34? Or just you trusted what they said?
Everytime that I send for 1N34 diodes they send a 1N60 instead. But they put on the invoice 1N34.

Ok, so I checked the evaporating liquid again today and there are hundreds of flat square crystals growing in it along with a green muck and some vaguely iridescent films.  Here's a picture!  ..the square crystals reflect light pretty well...

There is a way to reproduce the crystals you created. I thing they called growing a crystal. There was a member here that used to grow crystals with the shape of a piramid. I forgot where exactly I saw that topic. But I think that making a search for the words "growing crystal" and "crystal piramid" will give you interesting results.

I say that because to use a crystal, I think that it must be big enough. Growing it will accomplish that.

@ Jesus:

No, I did not check the actual numbers on the diodes because......there are NOT any!!!  I just now looked with my reading glasses and there is no number on any of them at all.  So, what you are saying may very well be true....how could I tell?  Yes, it had the correct numbers on the invoice (of course) but.....I did not realize these had no markings on them....heck they could be anything really.  Well, I lean something new every day.  Thanks.  So let me rephrase my earlier post.....I may have bought some germanium diodes.

I dont know but there are some diodes that does not have any numbers printed on them and are belived to be germanium. They are some kind of green and yellow I think.

@all

As a continution of my electronics study, here are the other transistor application circuits that I finish drawing on paint.
