# Dark Matter Crystal > Canonical source: [Dark Matter Crystal](https://satisfactorybase.its-live.dev/wiki/items/dark-matter-crystal) > Language: en Concentrated Dark Matter Residue that is isolated within a crystalline vessel. This form of containment allows for utilising Dark Matter reliably in other production processes. Power Usage: 500-1500 MW (1000 MW average). ## Properties - Entity type: Item - Form: solid - Stack size: 200 - Sink points: 1 780 - Radioactive: No - Can be discarded: Yes ## Produced by ### [Alternate: Dark Matter Crystallization](/wiki/recipes/recipe-alternate-darkmatter-crystallization-c) 3 s.
