Check Wiki
New materials were the first to be developed — quartz crystals were the first commercially exploited piezoelectric material, but scientists searched for higher-performance materials.

Piezo materials
Berlinite (AlPO4), a rare phosphate mineral that is structurally identical to quartz
Cane sugar
Quartz
Rochelle salt
Topaz
Tourmaline-group minerals

Alan is a clever man My respects to him. The coating could be something that damps the crystals and electrically insulates it.

I'm trying a blend of Tourmaline and Quartz
