I've got chunks of natural galena in the neighbor's rock garden. ;) I won't be making my own.

Besides, I've made a crystal radio with the old blue finished single razor blades.

I'll bet I can figure out a junction diode of some kind.

How does the razor blade diode work. Rest a wire across its sharp edge?

What would be really surprising is if you could make a transistor.
