hi all

I have crystals which have tendency to stick with the plate and while i try
to pick them for mounting on the loop they get broken.I have also tried to
tools to detach the crystals from the plate but couldnt get success. before
picking the best crystals I would like to know if someone has experience of
tackling this kind of problem. suggestions are requested..

thanks
