Garden Crystals
ItemGarden Crystals are dense clusters formed from countless Sailor Crystals and other potent Star Seeds that Shadow Galactica gathers across the Milky Way. They appear in the manga and in Sailor Moon Crystal.
Overview
A Garden Crystal is an amalgam of many Sailor Crystals and other powerful Star Seeds harvested by Shadow Galactica. The concept belongs to the manga and its Crystal adaptation, where it represents the accumulated spoils of the group's galaxy-wide hunt.
Function
A single Star Seed gives off only a faint glow, but bundled together they blaze with brilliant light. Shadow Galactica combs the galaxy for powerful Star Seeds and carries them back to Galactica Palace in the Sagittarius Zero Star, where the harvest is cultivated into these crystals.
Notable Users
Within the palace grounds, in a plot called the Star Garden, the Star Gardeners Sailor Phi and Sailor Chi tend the many Garden Crystals grown from stolen Sailor Crystals. The smaller ones they raise are eventually merged into a single large crystal, which swells over the Stars arc as the Star Seeds of Usagi's friends and of fallen Shadow Galactica members are folded in. In the end it is cast into the Galaxy Cauldron, where it dissolves to nourish Chaos.
