The Crystalarium is a crafted item that will replicate any inserted Gem (except Prismatic Shard), Foraged Mineral, or Geode Mineral. The functions of the Crystalarium are explained in the Lost Book Technology Report!.
One Crystalarium is the reward for donating 50 Minerals to the Museum. One Crystalarium is also the reward for completing the
25,000 Bundle in the Vault. Occasionally it can be found in a treasure room in the Skull Cavern.
Once an item is inserted, it will replicate that item an infinite number of times. Once a gem or mineral has been inserted into the Crystalarium, it can be retrieved at any time by removing the Crystalarium with a tool.

History
- 1.3.27: Removed an exploit that replaced a ready-to-harvest mineral with a more expensive mineral.
- 1.4: Can now be stacked in a player's inventory and in chests.
- 1.5: Removing a Crystalarium that isn't ready for harvest will now drop the gem that was placed in it.
- 1.6: Crystalariums now have to be removed and replaced before a different gem can be put inside, to help avoid wasting gems accidentally.
