Shape and motion of He-4 crystals in superfluid placed on a transversely oscillating plate were investigated visually. The plate was glued onto a piezo post which was driven in a shear mode electrically. The purpose of the experiment was to drive a He-4 crystal by a piezoelectric device which can be used to drive ordinary solids by the inchworm method. Facets of a single He-4 crystal 3 mm in width were destroyed by a single sawtooth pulse of 1 ms duration at 0.4 K. In case of a larger crystal 7.5 mm in width and 0.8 mm in height, only one side of the crystal moved toward the center of the crystal, while the other side never moved despite application of 100 pulses at 10 ms intervals. Therefore, the crystal grew vertically and its height varied from 0.8 mm to about 1.4 mm during the pulses. This anisotropic behavior had nothing to do with the direction of the sawtooth driver. Many of the observed behaviors were puzzling, but it can be said that the crystals responded to the oscillation sensitively and the sawtooth pulse induced a very anisotropic motion of the crystal surface.
