The crystal-plant hybrid is a mineral-plant hybrid of Calima, discovered after the crash while the land was probed for radioactive material.
In Descent (2258)
Description
Underground it forms vast networks of crystalline formations, like deep roots, covered with a slightly viscous substance of vegetal appearance. Where the roots reach the surface only the crystal shows, opening like a flower up to a metre high, or three metres in the largest, the The crystal cluster; the viscous substance lies just below it, since the air is toxic to it. The crystals glow faintly with a pale bluish light, in very slow pulses, as if something flowed through them.
They are not common, but the probes have mapped the main veins for several kilometres around the wreck. Their energy can be absorbed by a few people with a rare gene expression: see Crystal energy and discharge. A crystal used in repeated experiments shines less and pulses more slowly, as if being depleted.
