This can be easily made from junk-box parts (provided that a crystal is handy).

So could I plug the 50mV output of this into an op amp and amplify it? What may be a good amplifier to do that with?

Copied your osc. circuit. Colpitts. I intend to use it in a receiver 455 Khz BFO and hopefully make the crystal series capacitor variable to pull the frequency through part of the audio range. Should be more stable than the standard L-C layout.
