Categorization needs to be looked at. This article is about the damage to crystals, both the mining and the laser turret type. Image needs updating.}}


Focus Crystals (used by [[Turrets#Energy_Turrets|laser turrets]]), and Mining Crystals, used by [[ORE_Basic_Ship_and_Skill_Guide#Mining_crystals|mining lasers]] in EVE Online may receive "damage" and eventually be consumed (or in common terms, ''shatter''). These crystals have a Hit Point value much like any other destructible object, and shattering occurs when enough damage is taken by the crystal to lower its hit points to zero. The life expectancy of a given crystal, i.e. the average amount of time it may be used before it shatters, may be calculated from its attributes.

There are four different attributes that affect the life expectancy of a crystal. These attributes function identically for both combat and mining crystals.
