I purchase all my crystals from MH Electronics in Rancho Cucamunga, CA.  
They charge $18 a crystal.  I have never had a problem with a crystal 
they supplied.  They may ask for that you send a crystal from your 
application to check for capacitance, etc.  It does not have to be the 
same frequency as you are ordering.  You can do a Google search and find 
their website.
