Red Magma Crystals are naturally occurring formations in the Magmoor region. The red crystal encases liquid lava,[1][2] and varies greatly in size and shape. The crystal contains only a low Phazon residue, making it relatively worthless to the Space Pirates who had set up a base of operations in the Monitor Station, but they were reportedly of great worth to the Monks of Grondheim, leading to a recommendation to process the crystal for that market once their Phazon operations ceased.[3]
The massive Stalactite above the Space Pirate structure in the Monitor Station has a high occurrence of especially large formations, and the liquid lava within them can be seen clearly even from a distance.
An error in the NTSC version of Metroid Prime allowed a large crystal protruding from one wall to be scanned, with the same scan data as was available on a Space Pirate computer panel.
