Suggestion for easily synthesized crystals?

Are there any crystal that is:

• insoluble in water and other common liquids
• does not melt or become chemically altered in most scenarios
• can be synthesized at relatively low temperatures (less than 1500 degree Celsius)
• can be made relatively cheaply (not more expansive than synthetic diamond)
• monocrystalline, or at least easy to anneal

I am asking because I want to find a kind of crystal that can be used in my world as a "base" for magic instruments, which are synthetic and relatively abundant (as compared to jewelry). The magic itself is mostly irrelevant to the synthesis process, beside making the final product magical.
