Crystal is an important resource that can be used to craft many important items in Ark Aberration. Finding all the crystal deposit locations on the map can be difficult, owing to its often-rare spawn points and availability.
Plenty of crystal deposits are found all over the Aberration. Most are found in the Surface region, which has very high temperatures. You can also find crystal deposits appearing from the ground in the regions after the earthquake. You can easily identify the crystal deposits due to their bright white color in Ark Aberration.

You can also find Crystal deposits in the Luminous Marshlands region of the Aberration. This region has the highest concentration of bio-luminous cold. Players can get hypothermia while gathering crystals, so it’s best to wear protective gear.

Crystal Spawn Command
If you’re having trouble finding Crystal in Ark: Survival Ascended, you can use its spawn commands to have it spawn directly in your inventory. To do this, you must open the cheat console by pressing the TAB key on your keyboard.
If you’re playing on PlayStation, you’ll need to hold down L1, R1, Square, and Triangle at once, and similarly, on Xbox, hold down LB, RB, X, and Y at once. Once the console opens, type in the command “cheat gfi Crystal 1 0 0” and hit enter.
If you encounter a situation where these commands do not work, try resetting your system or game.
