The Black Crystal, or Kurozuishou (黒水晶), was an item used by the Dead Moon. It only appeared in the anime. It was used by three separate members of the Dead Moon, each with a different purpose.

Mimete

The Black Crystal was created by Mimete. After announcing his intention to locate the Silver Crystal, which was officially CereCere's mission, he created the Black Crystal as an aid to locating it. Upon its first use, the Crystal indicated that Naru Osaka had the Silver Crystal. Mimete tried to convince her to give him the Silver Crystal, but it ultimately transpired that she did not have it, and Mimete theorized that the Black Crystal had actually been reacting to Naru's love for him.

Meanwhile, CereCere was furious at Mimete's attempt to steal his mission, and was acutely aware of the danger that the Black Crystal posed. After discovering Mimete's interest in Naru, he assigned three of his Daimon and Phage , Nekonneru, Sailor Chef, and Sailor Cop, to kidnap Naru and hold her to ransom for the Black Crystal. The Daimon And Phage successfully kidnapped her, but Mimete discovered their hideout and rescued Naru with relative ease. The Daimon And Phage gave chase, however, and mortally injured Nephrite as he returned Naru to her home. Although Sailor Moon, Sailor Mercury, and Super Sailor Mars managed to destroy the three Youma, Mimete died and CereCere was able to steal the Black Crystal.

CereCere

Shortly after the Black Crystal came into CereCere's possession, Queen Nehellenia succeeded in partially awakening Sailor Galaxia, and was ordered to locate the seven Flower Crystals. Beryl then modified the Black Crystal to react to Rainbow Crystal holders and returned it to CereCere, instructing him to find and remove the Rainbow Crystals. The Black Crystal was now able to not only locate Flower Crystals, but also to fire a beam of energy that would extract them from their host, leaving the host to revert into one of the Ninth Great Cardians. CereCere used the Crystal to remove all ninth Flower Crystals, although three of them were taken by either Super Sailor Chibi Moon or Sailor Moon.

After all of the Flower Crystals had been removed, CereCere faced the prospect of taking back the three remaining Flower Crystals from Sailor Moon and Super Sailor Chibi Moon. To this end, he further modified the Black Crystal, granting it the power to transform any human into a Pahge. He intended to use this power to turn Naru into a Phage, but the energy beam missed her and instead hit an actor portraying the sentai hero Redman. The actor was transformed into the Phage Sailor Doctor, who then wreaked havoc for a short while in the Dreamland theme park.

Black Lady

Some time after those events, the brainwashed Black Lady proposed a plan to bring the seven former Flower Crystal holders together, uniting them to create an immensely powerful Youma. He used the Black Crystal to imprison his inhabitants, and succeeded in capturing Mikan Shiratori, Dream Princess Dreamland, Naru Osaka,Unazuki Furuhata Reika Nishimura, PallaPalla, and eventually Ryo Urawa. However, before he was able to capture Super Sailor Mars, And Minako Aino Sailor Mercury took the crystal and destroyed it, releasing the trapped inhabitants.
