Old Epcot Laser-etched 3D crystal

[omichron]

I have two crystals that I had etched at Epcot, years ago. Those 3D crystals where they take a picture of you right there and you get back a crystal with a fairly good 3D version. Both of them feature my father, who recently passed away.

I realize that it's a long shot, but I would like to see whether I can get some extra copies of those crystals. I don't know who to contact (I don't know what company they had at Epcot doing those crystals at the time, and don't even live in Florida anymore) and it has been years already.

One of the crystals, I'm fairly sure was taken at or around 12/24/2007, while the other... 08/28/2005. I am sure that it was paid by credit card, either mine or my father's. They are both in these boxes with magnetic lids which I know also came from the company. Google image search for "blue box magnetic lid crystals" and it's identical to the first hit (but blue).

So. Does anyone here know what number I might be able to call, or who to email, and whether the company that etched those crystals keeps their photographic data for this long (nearly ten years for one of them)?

It would mean a whole lot if I were able to make more of them; they are my favorite keepsake of my father and I would like to give some to my siblings as well.

Thank you.

First, I'm sorry for your loss.

Honestly, I would look up companies in your area that do crystal etchings and just email every one of them. Ask if they have the ability to copy an existing crystal. Maybe take a pic of it and show them what you mean.

I would think that the odds of finding the company from Epcot and them still having the digital file are slim to none.

I am very sorry for your loss. This does sound like a wonderful thing to do for your siblings.

I googled engraved crystals and came up with (not sure if it is OK to put a webaddress on here, so I have written the address out also):

If you have a photo, there does seem to be a lot of sites that can do this for you. You may even have a photo of the family that you could send in!

Good luck
