Should I just use super glue? Or an epoxy? Or a specific type of glue? Or what? I honestly have no idea, but majority of the crystals I've pulled from my endless pocket have come out in half or more pieces. Mostly due to the size of the crystals themselves. I'd really like to repair them, if I can do it myself. I'm not looking for professional quality, but enough to hold it together, so pieces don't get lost and I can see them in their full glory (or as full a glory as they can be with visible cracks & small pieces missing)
Keep in note, all of my crystals are smokey quartz, dunno if that helps with options for repair. -------------------- - You Rock! (Literally)

Glass glue sounds like a good idea, especially for the cleaner breaks. For what you are wanting to do, I think just a drop of superglue would do just fine for this application.
