Synaesthetic Goblins Taste crystal

A goblin temporally-displaced from 1998 was asked about crystal and replied, 'oh, that. We had a name for it back then, but it was rude.'

A medical text in the goblin anatomy library devotes thirty pages to the crystal-organ, an entity that does not appear in any reasonable taxonomy and which the goblin anatomists nevertheless palpate, weigh, and describe in unsettling detail.
