* The most profitable gem to replicate is the [[Diamond]], yielding a profit of {{price|150}} per day if harvested as soon as it is ready (five days). At this rate, the base monetary value of the materials used in crafting the Crystalarium can be recovered in about 32 days (not including a Diamond used to seed it, nor any increase in the value of the crafting materials due to profession bonuses).

* Only 7 in-game 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]]s, without needing coal.

**Five Quartz can be traded at the [[Desert Trader]] for 1 [[Bomb]], making the replication of Quartz in Crystalariums a more efficient method of obtaining Bombs than purchasing them from the [[Dwarf]]'s shop for {{price|600}} each.

* The Crystalarium can replicate [[Jade]] for trading with the [[Desert Trader]] for [[Staircase]]s on [[Days of the Week#Sunday|Sundays]]. The staircases can then either be used or inserted into a [[Deconstructor]] to produce 99 stone. This can save countless hours gathering stone.

* When changing the gem in a Crystalarium, first break the Crystalarium to get the seeded gem back (otherwise the gem in the Crystalarium will be lost and replaced with the new gem). Then place it down again and insert the new gem.

*The Crystalarium can replicate [[Ruby|Rubies]] for trading with the [[Desert Trader]] for [[Spicy Eel]]s. The Spicy Eels can then be eaten to increase [[luck]]. This can also save time from [[cooking]] them with [[eel]]s and [[Hot Pepper|hot peppers]].
