Experiment Observation 342:

Unlike your everyday crystals and gems found in quarries across Equestria, the constituents of krustallos imperium are arranged in an entirely different way. Physically they share similar luster and prism-like characteristics, but are capable of so much more. In short, the samples from the Crystal Empire have an arcane capacitance. On the contrary, the Equestrian samples ranging from quartz, diamond, sapphire, ruby, amethyst et al have failed to display any sort of capability to retain magic to even a limited degree. The arcane capacitance, like its electrical counterpart, varies considerably on several factors, such as the size of the crystalline solid, type and even cut.

I would love to get a hold of something more than degraded fragments to have a better idea of what possibilities this property of magical storage could bring. The energy loss of the current samples is too great to rely on for future experiments.

Neat.
