Hi Cezary, Crystal oscillators can be modelled pretty easily. You have RLC in series. This RLC forms a parallel resonance with a capacitor. Normally the values can be found in the internet. You can also model them approx. Do an ac sweep across this model and vary the values to get resonance at the required frequecvy and phase. Suggestions: Keep series resistance pretty low(not more than 30ohms) otherwise it will absorb most of the energy. The parallel capacitor is normally in picofarad range(not more than 10p) while series cap is in femto range. Hope this helps.
