What do you like to put in the Crystalariums?

[NotSoSnarky]

We know about the obvious ones. Emeralds, Jades, Diamonds, and Rubies.

What other items do you like to put in Crystalariums? Either for gifting, or for crafting, or just flat out selling them, or any other reason.

I've done some Earth Crystals for mayonnaise machines when my chicken-raising was outstripping my time in the mines.

I tend to have 2 duplicating Quartz to trade for Bombs. Grab them 2x/day as I walk by and you get 5-6 Bombs/week. For some people this is also one of the obvious ones but hey it wasn't mentioned!

And I don't dupe Emeralds, Diamonds, or Rubies, only about 12-16 Jade and the pair o' Quartzez. I dunno what people use Emeralds for, maybe you meant Quartz??

You can trade emeralds for cheese.

I do a couple with rubies and the rest quartz. Almost never jades, staircasing isn't fun compared to blowing up the entirety of SC.
The only problem with quartz is having to grab it twice a day which isnt always possible/interrupts other tasks and you miss out on bombs if you do it less. So my biggest crystalarium army is on my modded farm where the automate mod does all the work for me putting hundreds of quartz being pumped out daily in a chest, which I can open whenever I have less than 1-2 hundred bombs on me. Trading it is a pain tho, spam clicking the same button with it sometimes swapping to another trade for some reason...

Since my fourth save, usually Quartz, Ruby, Jade and Diamond. Would wish for Cindershards, too, or duplicate the Arctic shard for whatever use, it looks so nice...

 

[Terdin]

I'm currently making jade, emeralds and diamonds. Just traded a full stack of emeralds for cheese.

In my previous game I had mostly jade, but also a few rows of quartz. That's what I usually do.
In my current game I only have one crystalarium (I'm still in Year 1) and it has diamond. I put it next to the shipping box, and every time a diamond pops out I sell it.

I seem to end up with one for amethysts for gifts (Abi, Clint, Emily). With the farmer who married Seb, I had obsidian, and fire opal because I'd listed it as her favourite thing, though of course I sold a fair bit of both as well. I also had some other slightly odd ones in other farms due to mods where some machines were built with geode-found minerals. Hey, it meant there was something to do with them once the museum had its cut...

 

[riklaunim]

The first early one from bundles usually with fire quartz, so then I have a stock for dehydrators (or for lava eel fish pond quests)

If you're playing on a computer you can use Ctrl+Shift+click to buy 25 at a time. And I think it's Shift-click that buys 5 at a time but it might be Ctrl-click instead, I can never remember because I usually just click 5 times instead.

I duplicate a lot of fire quartz, because i can smelt it to make sprinklers.
But also, when I have placed a lot of mushroom logs, I need to build dehydrators.
But the me from the past has been smart, so now I have a lot of red quartz for them. I'm very happy everytime that happens!!!

 

[zack123]

I'm duplicating jade, diamonds and a few fire quartz

 

[Gamer1234556]

Jade for Staircases. Need all the staircases you need for the Skull Cavern.

 

[Caviar]

Amethysts to give to Emily.

I'm on mobile, which has some of the shop menus adjusted but not the desert trader
