This page is about the Water Crystal added by Thaumcraft 5. For other uses, see Water Crystal.
Water Crystal

ModThaumcraft 5
TypeTransparent block

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

Water 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, Water Shards can be planted to make Water Crystals, and right-clicking a single shard on a Water Crystal with a Wand will remove just that one Water Shard.

Vis Crystals

On occasion there is so much primal energy in an aura that it will settle into rock from which vis infused crystals will grow. As long as they are fed vis they will continue to grow and even spread.
Once the aura dips low enough the energy once again dissipates out of the crystals, replenishing the aura and causing the crystals to crumble. In effect, they are natural, or in this case, supernatural vis batteries. They will never crumble away completely and at least a small remnant of the crystal will remain.
These crystals can be harvested for elemental shards that have many uses in Thaumaturgy.
You know of no way to only harvest some of the crystals. It is a matter of all or none.
Thaumonomicon
You have made a couple of discoveries that have given you the ability to turn vis shards into 'plantable' vis crystals on stone.
What is more, you can now pluck a single shard from a crystal growth without having to break it - simply right click on it with your wand.
