Title, I wonder how many Rock Crystals have been wasted because people forgot that you need to be extra careful with them.
EDIT: Clarification, now when you get Rock Crystal (item) from Rock Crystal (node) it should only count as Rock Crystal (required to build Charter Stone, Coronation Stone, and certain Mine Holes, or as gilding.) You then have option to right-click the Rock Crystal to turn it into a generic stone of same quality. This way the Rock Crystal has all the functions it currently has, only the game doesn't **** you over when you fail to remember Rock Crystal is also a stone and it goes to claim pole of village idol.
