Stardew Valley: How to get & use Crystalarium

Stardew Valley Crystalarium

Having various Crystalariums in your Stardew Valley farm is a great source of stable income, but you’ll need to complete a series of steps before getting its recipe. Here’s how to get and use Crystalariums.

There’s no doubt you’ll find Crystals and Minerals while wandering in Stardew Valley right at the beginning of any game. These materials are often a source of fast gold since miners can pick any stone or even throw bombs around to gather them as quickly.

However, the most valuable gem can be trickier to find, and you might need a couple of them to collect, donate to the Museum, or even use them as a crafting material. If you are on the fence about how to use your precious Mineral, you can easily use a Crystalarium to replicate it until you get sick.

Here’s how to get a Crystalarium and how to use it in Stardew Valley.

How to get the Crystalarium in Stardew Valley

In Stardew Valley, you can get the recipe for the Crystalarium by reaching level 9 in the Mining Skill. You can also get one by paying 25,000 g to the Community Center’s vault area, or donating 50 Minerals to the Museum, although you won’t be able to build one until you have its recipe.

After getting the Crystalarium recipe, you can craft it using the Workbench with these set of ingredients:

  • 5x Gold bars
  • 2x Iridium bars
  • 1x Battery packs
  • 99x Stone
