Savegame Crystal

Save Crystal is a game mechanic in Tomb Raider and in Tomb Raider III: Adventures of Lara Croft.

In Tomb Raider these crystals were stationary, and Lara had to return to them each time to save her progress.

In Tomb Raider III the crystals are collectible, and can be used anywhere and anytime.

The save crystals make their return in Nintendo gameboy games: Tomb Raider, and Tomb Raider: Curse of the Sword.
