I've ate crystal candy, but that doesn't count here, does it?
Anyway, it would probably be best to test this differently instead of consuming a piezoelectric crystal, because who knows what could happen? It could cause severe illness, pains, or worse, death.
I do know piezoelectric crystals produce high voltage when mechanical pressure is applied. They also produce voltage in the presence of an electric field. So you could be setting yourself up for potential death if the right circumstances were to occur. Would you ingest an electric eel?
You're basically asking if it's ok to eat sand. The answer is yes - if it's ground finely enough. In fact, many food products include silica for its anti-caking properties. Silicon dioxide itself is very chemically unreactive, so your body won't digest it. Although piezoelectric crystals create high voltage, the current is tiny. I think you'd be ok, but it's not something I'd recommend.
