Are you sure they're "polarity oriented" ??? I've never had this problem before.. I'm pretty sure it's only the four legged ones that got a specific pinout..The crystals aren't, but the chip will have one of the pins acting as an output that drives one end of the crystal and the other as an input from the crystal. Which way round you connect the crystal isn't important (except maybe aesthetically) but if you're driving the chip from an oscillator it matters which pin you connect it to.
