'''Crystalline Shards''' are crystalline structures found on airless [[planets]] and [[moons]]. They are produced by colonies of microorganisms.

'''Crystalline Shards''' are crystalline structures found on airless [[planets]] and [[moons]]. They are produced by colonies of microorganisms, and are known to feature [[Crystalline Cluster]]s that are rich in high-grade [[Raw Materials]].

== ~~Guide~~ ==

== Overview ==

Crystalline Shards are organic structures that ~~have recently been~~ discovered in the [[Sanguineous Rim]] ~~region~~ and ~~beyond~~. They grow on [[planets]] with volcanic activity that are located at least 12,000 LS from the main [[star]]. They produce Crystalline ~~Clusters~~ which, when shot ~~from a~~ [[SRV]], drop high-grade [[materials]] matching the planet's composition. In other words, they drop the same material as Needle Crystals would in a volcanic site, but there are lots and lots of them. No need to hope for metallic meteorites! No RNG! Simply drive around, shooting and picking up the clusters until your material storage is full!<ref name=":0">[https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/abg1ub/this_fellow_commanders_is_the_antimony_mother_lode/ This, fellow Commanders, is the Antimony Mother Lode!]</ref>

Crystalline Shards are organic structures that were first discovered in the [[Sanguineous Rim]], and have since been confirmed in other [[Galactic regions|regions]]. They grow on airless [[planets]] with volcanic activity that are located at least 12,000 lightseconds from the system's main [[star]]. They produce [[Crystalline Cluster]]s which, when shot with [[SRV]] weapons, drop high-grade [[materials]] matching the planet's composition.<ref name=":0">[https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/abg1ub/this_fellow_commanders_is_the_antimony_mother_lode/ This, fellow Commanders, is the Antimony Mother Lode!]</ref>

~~The catch?~~ The closest known sites ~~are 1,500 LY from~~ [[Sol]], in the [[Sanguineous Rim]] region. ~~However, it can be worth it if you need to max out on several materials, or for new~~ [[Commander~~|Commanders~~]] wanting to unlock [[~~Professor~~ Palin|~~Prof.~~ Palin]] ~~and stock up on some materials at the same time. To make this more generally useful we would need to complete the list of materials and hopefully find locations closer to~~ [[~~the Bubble~~]].~~<ref name=":0" />~~

The closest known sites to [[Sol]] are 1,500 ly away, in the [[Sanguineous Rim]] region. [[Commander]]s seeking to fill up their stockpiles of raw materials or wanting to unlock [[Ishmael Palin|Professor Palin's]] [[Engineers|Engineering]] services may find the trek to be worthwhile. It is recommended that in addition to bringing SRVs, pilots should install a [[Detailed Surface Scanner]] on their ships to pinpoint the exact locations of planetary biological and geological surface sites.<ref name=":0" />

~~Your [[Scarab]] SRV has the tools you will need once you're on the planet's surface~~, ~~but remember to mount~~ a [[Detailed Surface Scanner]] on ~~your ship. It will make it much easier~~ to ~~find~~ the exact ~~positions~~ of ~~the~~ biological and geological surface ~~locations before you land~~.
