crystal Sung by a Hologram Goblin

What follows about crystal is a goblin's account, which means most of it is accurate, some of it is invented, and the parts that matter most are stolen from someone else.

The goblin board's investment thesis on crystal runs to forty pages, of which six are diagrams, fourteen are footnotes, and the remaining twenty consist of the same paragraph slightly reworded each time.
