* In VideoGame/DarkSouls, the Curse status will turn an Undead to crystal once it fills up the status meter. Seath the Scaleless has an attack that [[GemstoneAssault makes crystals erupt from the ground]] that increase Curse buildup when touched, and has several crystal "statues" in his arena. Oddly, other crystal attacks aren't tied to curse and the main monster that uses Curse, [[DemonicSpiders Basalisks]], aren't connected to crystals.

* The first [[Franchise/GreenLantern Red Lantern]] ring was forged from the crystallized blood of four ritually murdered immortal... not quite {{Eldritch Abomination}}s. And Atrocitus' '''[[color:red:RAGE]].'''
%%* Tiahzi's tears in ''ComicBook/{{Thorgal}}''.
* In ''ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogArchieComics'', when King Acorn was rescued from the Zone of Silence, his body began to turn into green crystals as a result from overexposure to the Zone's harsh enviornment.
* ''Franchise/XMen'':
** Bling![[note]]Yes, the exclamation point is part of her name.[[/note]]. His powers manifested after ComicBook/ScarletWitch depowered 90% of known mutants, can expel diamond shards that ultimately come from her bone marrow.
** Frost with her diamond form, which she can switch to at will. In addition to the logical advantages of having a diamond body (such as being able to cut most things with her fingernails), Emma's mind is impenetrable to psychic probes when she's in that form.

* ''Literature/OldKingdom'': Spirit-glass is the crystallized remains of [[OurSpiritsAreDifferent Free Magic spirits]] from a world that [[DestroyerDeity Orannis]] destroyed. It's mortally dangerous to obtain but makes for a powerful [[CrystalWeapon weapon]] -- a shard discharges enough destructive magic when broken to destroy almost anything it strikes.

* Pearls are the one type of precious gemstone that's ''always'' a product of this trope, being formed from encrusted bodily secretions that accumulate around irritating particles inside the shells of bivalves.
* Two more gemstones are also always of biological origin—but rather than coming from an animal, the living being in question is a plant:
** Amber is the fossilized resin of ancient trees.
** Jet is entirely made of fossilized plant remains compressed together. It's actually a gem-quality variety of coal.

%%* There is a NSFW manga wherein the princess of a fantasy country had the power to have her tears and such become gemstones. Unfortunately for her, some unscrupulous people revolt and take her prisoner, doing unspeakable things to her to make her cry more and create more gems to sate their greed. In the end, SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome happens: the sudden influx of gemstones wrecks the country's economy due to their subsequent devaluation, and the poor princess is discovered in a miserable state when her captors are ousted.
