Just ordered a crystal mistress and didn't know if it come with a conditioner or what everyone uses to condition this call with?
I used a stone on mine to rough it up good. Then when it needs a touch-up I use drywall screen.

Same
I wish I would have new that I would have ordered a stone also
Drywall screen or sandpaper. Drywall screen doesn't clog up as bad but 100-150 grit sandpaper works well also.
Definitely Drywall screen
Conditioning stone left to right, then one direction drywall screen. It will remove the glass dust between the scrapes and should run good.

I use quite a few different things. Always have a stone and sandpaper. Using different grit materials will make the call sound different and make it more versatile. I will say that one of my favorite materials to condition crystal and glass is the roll of heavy duty sand paper from O'Reilly's autoparts. It's about 3/4" thick and about 24" long. I cut it off in 1" sections. It's 80 grit and/or 100 grit. That little piece can be used multiple times and I love the sound I get from it's conditioning. Always wipe the dust from the crystal, so it doesn't clog the grooves in the conditioning and/or clog the striker faster.
