===Four Diviners===
 
With only four [[Diviner]]s remaining, [[Jiaying]] asked scientists among the [[Inhumans]] to duplicate the Terrigen Crystals, so that if the Diviners were lost or destroyed, the race would not go extinct. Although the resulting crystals were fully functional in triggering terrigenesis in Inhumans, the scientists were unable to make them without Diviner metal mixed within, rendering the new crystals deadly to any standard human in the vicinity of their use.<ref name="AoS220"/>

HYDRA held some Terrigen Crystals in their labs. After turning on since she learnt that they were getting children indoctrinated in specific facilities by the [[Faustus|Faustus method]], [[Melinda May]] brought a Terrigen Crystal in [[Quake|Daisy Johnson]]'s cell so that she could regain her powers and put an end to HYDRA's reign of terror.<ref>''[[No Regrets|Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: 4.18: No Regrets]]''</ref>
===Theft of Terrigen Crystals===
 
Years ago, [[Eva Belyakov]] stole Terrigen Crystals so that her daughter could go through [[Terrigenesis]] without [[Katya Belyakov|Katya]] having the mental training that [[Inhumans]] are desired to receive.<ref>''[[Melinda|Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: 2.17: Melinda]]''</ref>

[[Calvin Zabo]] told [[Phil Coulson]] that something was inside the [[Diviner]]; when Coulson asked if it was similar to the [[Tesseract]], Zabo did not know what that was to compare.<ref>''[[The Things We Bury|Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: 2.08: The Things We Bury]]''</ref>
 
 
[[Skye]] pursued [[Raina]] into the temple of the [[Kree City]]. While Raina explained that it was their destiny to be together at that moment, in that place, the Diviner left Raina's hand and floated to a pedestal in the center of the room. As [[Antoine Triplett]] entered, the temple doors shut and the Diviner opened to reveal the Terrigen Crystals inside. A [[Terrigen Mist|mist]] released from the crystals filled the room and Triplett saw the women [[Terrigenesis|become petrified]]. He kicked the crystals, causing them to shatter.<ref>''[[What They Become|Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: 2.10: What They Become]]''</ref>
 
 
===Impure Crystals===
 
[[File:Impure_Crystal.png|250px|left|thumb|[[Jiaying]] holding a Terrigen Crystal made by the [[Inhumans]].]]
 
[[Jiaying]], leader of the [[Inhumans]] who lived in [[Afterlife]], told her people to prepare for the arrival of [[Humans]] from the organization [[S.H.I.E.L.D.]]; she had a [[List of Minor Characters|Scientist]] pack crates with the impure Terrigen Crystals that she had commissioned them to make.
 
 
Jiaying, feigning that it was an offering of peace between the Inhumans and S.H.I.E.L.D., offered one of the Crystals to [[Robert Gonzales]]. However, before he could accept the "gift", she broke the Crystal on her desk, releasing the [[Terrigen Mist]] within. Gonzales was petrified with the [[Diviner]] metal mixed inside the synthetic Crystals.<ref name="AoS220">''[[Scars|Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: 2.20: Scars]]''</ref>
 
 
Jiaying later loaded the crystals on board the S.H.I.E.L.D. aircraft carrier ''[[Iliad]]'', planning to release them to sort out the Inhumans, and exterminate the humans.<ref>''[[S.O.S. Part One|Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: 2.21: S.O.S. Part One]]''</ref> She used the manufactured crystals to show [[Anne Weaver]] what she could do if she did not cooperate. To prove her point, Jiaying locked defenseless S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, including [[Oliver]], in a chamber with the stones, and watched as they were petrified. Weaver then complied.
 
[[File:Coulson-loses-arm-scream.jpg|250px|thumb|[[Phil Coulson]] holding a crystal]]
 
While [[Gordon]] tried to kill [[Phil Coulson]], [[Leo Fitz]], and [[Alphonso Mackenzie]], he purposefully dropped a crystal. Coulson dove to catch it before it hit the ground, and the stone began to petrify his arm. Mackenzie acted quickly and chopped off Coulson's arm with an axe before the effects could spread further.
 
 
In order to save mankind, [[Skye]] caused the [[Quinjet]] loaded with Terrigen Crystals to fall into the ocean, instead of allowing Jiaying to keep them. The crystals began to deteriorate in the bottom of the ocean, contaminating the sea life with the [[Terrigen Mist]] while the deadly metallic elements sank to the bottom. Some of the affected fish were later caught and manufactured into [[Nature Max Supplements Fish Oil|fish oil tablets]], which were distributed out to the world.<ref>''[[S.O.S. Part Two|Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: 2.22: S.O.S. Part Two]]''</ref>
 
 
===Andrew Garner's Exposure===
 
{{Quote|Now, Jiaying must have rigged it with a Terrigen Crystal to keep out anyone who couldn't survive the mist. Lucky me.|[[Andrew Garner]]|Chaos Theory}}
 
[[Jiaying]] had placed a Terrigen Crystal in the ledger that she wrote keeping the genealogy of the [[Inhumans]] who lived in [[Afterlife]], so no [[Humans|human]] could access the book and survive; after the [[War against the Inhumans]], Jiaying's property was turned over to [[S.H.I.E.L.D.]] for study. [[Andrew Garner]] was given the books in order to create a better profile for S.H.I.E.L.D.'s files; he accidentally broke the Crystal, released the [[Terrigen Mist]] and, after experiencing [[Terrigenesis]], became the monstrous [[Lash]].<ref>''[[Chaos Theory|Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: 3.07: Chaos Theory]]''</ref>
 
 
===Stolen from S.H.I.E.L.D.===
 
[[File:The Team Terrigen Crystals 2.jpg|thumb|left|250px|[[Daisy Johnson]] steals Terrigen Crystals]]
 
[[Lincoln Campbell]] visited [[JT James]] in order to get information on [[Hive]]. He offered the information in exchange for becoming an Inhuman, showing him a Terrigen Crystal. James agreed and he showed him a [[Kree Orb]] which Hive had stolen from the [[Kree]] during his rebellion against them. However, once James gave the orb to Campbell, he tricked him and Campbell went away with the Crystal and the orb.<ref>''[[Paradise Lost|Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: 3.16: Paradise Lost]]''</ref>
 
 
As Hive brainwashed [[Daisy Johnson]] during the [[Retaking of Zephyr One]], she returned to the [[Playground]] and stole some of the Terrigen Crystals from [[S.H.I.E.L.D.]]'s stockpile for Hive.<ref>''[[The Team|Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: 3.17: The Team]]''</ref>
 
 
Hive wanted to control James, so he ordered Johnson to force him go through the [[Terrigenesis]]. She used one of the stolen Crystals for that.<ref>''[[The Singularity|Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: 3.18: The Singularity]]''</ref>
 
 
===Improve Compound===
 
[[File:BOOM Terrigen.jpg|thumb|250px|[[Holden Radcliffe]]'s Terrigen Crystals]]
 
Following his encounter with [[Hive]], Dr. [[Holden Radcliffe]] took some Terrigen Crystals from him and worked on refining the compound. He managed to create Crystals which were harmless for [[Humans]]. Radcliffe offered [[Anton Ivanov]], the leader of the [[Watchdogs]], to use the Crystals, so the latter ordered [[Tucker Shockley]] to use it on Senator [[Ellen Nadeer]]. In her office, Shockley broke the Crystal, but the [[Terrigen Mist]] did not turn Nadeer but Shockley himself.<ref>''[[BOOM|Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: 4.13: BOOM]]''</ref>
