Auralite Crystal
Auralite Crystal is not another name for Auralite. It is a terrain formation condensed from Auralite by the Aura Extractor. Player tools cannot damage it, so the Aura Extractor nanobots must mine the crystal. When those nanobots break Auralite Crystal, the documented yield is Aura.

How Auralite Crystal Forms
Auralite Crystal appears during the documented Auralite extraction chain. The Aura Extractor condenses the solid Auralite material into the crystal terrain form before its nanobots mine that formation. This makes the crystal a stage in producing Aura, not a second name for the Auralite carried into the process. The official snapshot does not provide a formation time, conversion ratio or required extractor layout.
How to Mine Auralite Crystal
Do not try to break Auralite Crystal with ordinary player digging tools. The official mechanics description says the formation is impervious to all player tools and lists nanobots as the only source of damage. Use the Aura Extractor and allow its nanobots to target the crystal. Because the source does not list a numeric HP value, this guide does not claim a fixed mining duration.
What Auralite Crystal Yields
Auralite Crystal yields Aura when the Aura Extractor nanobots mine it. The crystal itself is classified as terrain, while Auralite is the solid input material that precedes it in the extraction chain. If you are trying to produce or transport the input material, use the Auralite guide; this page is specifically about the crystal formation and its mining rule.
