Greetings
Not knownig the size of your crystals.one way use the crystal fixture/
holder used in vacuum systems.
The limitation 0.55 inches
The crystals can be removed at will.
Or maybe you can machine a larger fixture using the priciple

Subject: [mems-talk] Quartz Crystal Fixture


Hi,

I am doing experiments with quartz crystal microbalances.  I need a fixture
that I can easily install and remove the crystal without soldering or
bonding with epoxy.  I will be doing consecutive resonant frequency tests,
and I want to minimize the effect of fixture on measurements.  Is anybody
aware of such a fixture?
