Ghost Crystal

Ghost Crystal

Type	Mineral
Location	Frozen Geode; Omni Geode
Sell Price	200g

Ghost Crystal is a geode mineral from Frozen Geodes and Omni Geodes. It is one of the better-paying finds in a Frozen Geode, level with Fluorapatite and twice the price of Esperite. Its first job is a museum donation, where each new mineral counts towards Gunther's rewards. After that, spares are sold, sewn into a Shirt, or used for a gray dye. Nearly every villager dislikes it as a gift, though the Wizard likes it.

The in-game description reads: There is an aura of coldness around this crystal.

Location

Ghost Crystal only comes out of geodes. A Frozen Geode has roughly one chance in thirty of holding it. An Omni Geode can hold it too, but its odds are spread across the minerals of every geode type, so each one is a weaker chance.

Frozen Geodes come from rocks on floors 41 to 79 of The Mines, and in Winter from rocks on the Farm as well. They also turn up in Fishing Treasure Chests. Sebastian's Desert Festival booth sells them for Calico Eggs when he runs one, and a full Ice Pip Fish Pond can produce them as well.

Clint at the Blacksmith opens each geode for 25g. After Clint's Cave Patrol special order, a Geode Crusher can open them at home. The odds stay the same on lucky and unlucky days.

Prices

Ghost Crystal sells for eight times the cost of cracking its geode. Fairy Stone from the same geode is worth a little more, while Geminite and Aerinite are worth less. A Ghost Crystal sells for thirty percent above that with the Gemologist profession at Mining level 10.

A Crystalarium can copy Ghost Crystal in about three and a half days. That earns close to 58g a day. Amethyst earns nearly twice as much in the same machine, and Diamond nearly three times as much. Ghost Crystal suits a Crystalarium only when every good gem is already in use.

Uses

Donating the first Ghost Crystal to Gunther adds it to the museum's mineral collection. Mineral donations unlock rewards at set totals. Among the first rewards is furniture such as the Standing Geode and the Singing Stone. The Crystal Chair comes at 41 minerals and a Crystalarium at 50.

Putting Ghost Crystal and Cloth in the Sewing Machine makes a Shirt. With a dyeable clothing item, a Ghost Crystal in the spool gives a gray dye.

Gifts

The Wizard likes Ghost Crystal.

Among those who dislike Ghost Crystal are the Dwarf, Krobus and Sandy. Abigail, Alex, Elliott, Emily, Haley, Harvey, Leah, Maru, Penny, Sam, Sebastian and Shane dislike it as well, as do Caroline, Demetrius, Evelyn, George, Jodi, Kent, Lewis, Linus and Pam. Clint, Gus, Marnie, Pierre, Robin and Willy share that view, and so do the children Jas, Leo and Vincent.

Cheaper Frozen Geode minerals please the Wizard just as much, so Ghost Crystal is usually better sold.

Notes

Ghost Crystal, Fluorapatite and Fairy Stone are the minerals that make a stack of Frozen Geodes pay off. Cracking Frozen Geodes in bulk after trips to the middle floors of The Mines fills the museum and brings a tidy profit at the same time.
