Crystal Shard

are small, sharp pieces of crystal found in crystal veins.

Uses
can be used as a dagger, as an arrowhead for arrows or as a throwing weapon. They are also commonly used as markers within Mines when attached to a Wooden Stake. This is due to the faint light that crystal shards give off, allowing them to be seen through the darkness from a long distance away.

Obtaining
can be obtained via smashing Crystal Gems (at a rate of 2 shards to one Gem), or as a drop from mining blue Crystal Ore Veins.
