Air Crystal (Thaumcraft 5)

The Air Crystal is a glowing ore added by Thaumcraft 5. It is found in clusters of 1-64. When mined, it will drop 1-4 Air Shards (the number of shards it will drop is countable by looking at the block). Silk Touch is ineffective against the Air Crystal, and due to Minecraft 1.8's rendering issues, the block in the inventory is rendered as an item.

Air Crystals will grow from the Aura in the air. However, they cannot be farmed without the Crystal Farmer Research.



Crystal Farmer Research
"Crystal Farmer" is a Research added by Thaumcraft 5. With it, Air Shards can be planted to make Air Crystals, and right-clicking a single shard on an Air Crystal with a Wand will remove just that one Air Shard.
