If you go to the Farnell site, select the UK site, then the Online Catalogue, Electronic components and finally Crystals, you can see them.
Unfortunately they seem to be out of stock right now if you were thinking of building your own Warp engine.

So instead of a cowboy, think of Ballmer dressed as a Mountie or Moose.
