Crystal is a resource in ARK: Survival Evolved used for crafting various items. It is especially useful in the end-game.

Gathering

Crystal are best gathered with a metal pick or with certain creatures; stone picks can work but provide a very low drop chance. It can be acquired by mining white crystals. White crystals are the primary source which can be mined, stalactites in caves also provide crystal. Some others are just decorative. An even better way to gather crystal is the lunar biome on genesis by harvesting the crystal bushes with a Bronto, this can be boosted even more with a mate on a Deinonychus, because a Deinonychus can jump equally how much weight the rider has. You can also use a Magmasaur, Anky, Tek Stryder, and many other dinosaurs to harvest white crystals as well. The Stryder, while not having the greatest collection rate, is the best resource collector in general due to being able to connect to dedicated storage boxes in your base and send resources back to them from anywhere on the map.

Scorched Earth

In the Scorched Earth DLC, the Artifact Caves and the Wyvern Trench host rich crystal nodes which yield a very high amount of crystal. One single node can yield hundreds crystals if farmed efficiently and these nodes can usually be found in bulk.

Aberration

In the Aberration DLC, crystals can be harvested from Green Gem, Blue Gem, or Red Gem patches at a much higher efficiency than white crystal patches. White crystals are also much more rare, with the colored gems being common throughout the map.

Extinction

In the Extinction DLC, crystals can be harvested from Lampposts, Benches and Tables in the Sanctuary.
