Can anyone speak as to the difference between old hesalite crystals and the later gen acrylic crystals that came to replace them? I'm thinking about sourcing a NOS hesalite crystal - just curious to see if there are any notable differences and/or if it's worth it.

Specifically, I'm wondering if it feels different (harder or more brittle) and if there are any differences in luminosity (more transparent, etc) or even basic shape. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
