Efficient items for thaumcraft research?

[Buffalo_Wings_Master]

Im looking for cheap items that have harder-to-get (or expensive) aspects
for example:
chisled sandstone has the magic aspect (avoid using up shards)
refined iron has the purus aspect (avoid using diamonds)

any others?

I use this. It list the aspects and what items have them. I usally pick the lowest value ones. I dont mind clicking.

It's a good loose (correct use of loose is rare on the internets these days) guide but don't take the best item as that you should always use - boats are a non stacking pita for motus when you can use rubber much easier , coal/charcoal is plentiful and cheap so better, imo, for ignis than tnt and aren't listed on there, same with messis from reeds or paper, also not listed etc.

for purus you end up with loads of silverwood logs if/when you want to grow a pure node and there isn't much else they're used for.
