(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 
25,000 Bundle in the Vault, and may occasionally be found in a treasure room in the Skull Cavern.

Tips
- The most profitable gem to replicate is the Diamond, yielding a profit of 150g per day if harvested as soon as it is ready (five days). At this rate, you can recover the base monetary value of the materials used in crafting the Crystalarium 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 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 CDs, without 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 600g each.

- The Crystalarium can replicate Jade for trading with the Desert Trader for Staircases on Sundays. This can save countless hours gathering stone.
