Better to buy an oscillator, rather than trying to make one with a crystal.
Crystal oscillators are not hard, if you are into that sort of thing. If you are not....buy a clock! Lots of places sell ones for a $1 or so. They will start up, without problems, and stay on frequency, under a wide range of conditions.
Now, if you want to learn about making a crystal oscillator...........yeah, that is a subject guys like me can help you with. But, in the interim..............buy a clock. Much easier and certainly faster.
One last point.............$1 clocks are pretty much a commodity, these days. Don't invest a lot of time comparing specs on competing ones. Buy what you can find, at the right price, from wherever you buy your parts from. The differences, in this case, don't really exist.
It's sloppy speech, the technical term is crystal oscillator or crystal clock oscillator. A crystal with an oscillator circuit in a small package. You apply 3.3V or 5V power and get a square wave at a fixed frequency.you said "clock", what is that?
