Crystal Shard

Crystal Shards are a placeable crafting material which may be naturally found in the Underground Hallow on Pearlstone surfaces, requiring a Hammer to harvest. They come in several different shapes and colors before they've been harvested. After being harvested, however, their inventory image is always that of a purple crystal. Placing Crystal Shards will result in randomly-colored versions, in a manner similar to the randomized graphics created when placing Books and Coral. Crystal shards give off a very small amount of light and brightens occasionally, which makes them somewhat easier to find. The light it emits depends on the color of the crystal.
