Testing Crystals

[Kingpin094]

I have aquired a handful of 32khz to 12Mhz crystals. I would like to test them to see if they are working properly before I try to use them in a project. I have been unable to find a method for testing the crystals. If anyone can give me a point in the right direction on how to test them I would be very greatful.

The last link also includes an easy to build capacitance meter design.

Good Luck
