Life Crystal Ore generates underwater in the lakes of the Lake Cavern layer of the Betweenlands. They have the same highly randomized model used by Stalactite Blocks, and like them can generate and stretch out from both the ceiling and floor, allowing them to be either stalactites or stalagmites. Most appear to be stalactites and stalagmites made of Pitstone, but rarely one may have a strip of white on it, indicating the crystal, and this part is what must be mined to get the crystal. They provide a small amount of light.
