Amazon in the US doesn't seem to sell Van Dyke crystals, but they can be purchased from Garrett Wade, a woodworking and tool supplier. garrettwade.com
They sell their crystals in milliliters, for some reason, so it's hard to compare, but in the photo it's next to a bag of bichromate of potash marked as 8.8 oz and the van dyke looks like almost twice as big. It it really were 16 oz, it would be less than half of the cost of walnut crystals in the largest bag from an online calligraphy retailer. But I'm trying to compare weight and volume measures, so I could be quite off.
And 16 oz will last you quite a looong while, even with constant practice.
