I vaguely recall some TV drama from the 1980s that took place sometime in 
"the future" that had a scene showing something like this.  The main 
characters were walking through a TV department.  Someone put a 
thumb-sized faceted crystal into a gizmo that resembled a VCR which took 
it in and shone a laser on it.
