The '''Crystalarium''' will replicate any inserted [[Minerals#Gems|Gem]], [[Minerals#Foraged Minerals|Foraged Mineral]], or [[Minerals#Geode Minerals|Geode Mineral]] except [[Prismatic Shard]]s. (In the [[Museum]] there is a book that states: "For some reason, the EMF from the shard interacts negatively with the crystalarium").  Once inserted, it will replicate that item an infinite number of times. Once a gem or mineral has been inserted into the Crystalarium it cannot be removed, only replaced with another. The original item is lost and so it is best to let it finish at least once to avoid loss.

It is obtained through [[Crafting]], donating 50 [[Minerals]] to the [[Museum]], as a reward for completing the {{Bundle|25000|16|y}}, and may randomly be found in Treasure Rooms in the [[Skull Cavern]].

* Only 7 hours is required to replicate [[Quartz]], the shortest time span for any mineral. While the Crystalarium is thus an efficient source of Quartz for making [[Refined Quartz]], Quartz is found abundantly during mining and making Refined Quartz still requires [[Coal]] for smelting. Refined Quartz can also be produced directly in a [[Recycling Machine]] from [[Broken Glasses]] and [[Broken_CD|Broken CDs]], without coal.

* Another good use of the Crystalarium is replicating [[Jade]] for use in trading with [[Desert Trader]] for [[Staircase]]. This will save countless hours gathering stone. In order for this to be viable however you will need to construct 5 or more Crystalariums.

* The Crystalarium can replicate [[Jade]] for trading with the [[Desert Trader]] for [[Staircase]]s on [[Days of the Week#Sunday|Sundays]]. This can save countless hours gathering stone.
