Collecting Crystals in The Sims 4 means digging up Rocks found around the game's Neighborhoods, Parks, and Secret Areas. Any rock could yield any of these, but don't expect it to be a quick process. Metals, Crystals, MySims Trophies, and Fossils all come from the same spawners so this is quite a long process. Rares are more likely to be found off the beaten path, such as in Forgotten Grotto or areas distant from homes in Oasis Springs. See the Guide to Collections for some general Tips to finding them.
The following list of Crystals indicates what Elements that gem may be broken down to when it is sent to the Geo Council. This is how you collect Elements. You'll get one of the Elements listed in the mail the following day after sending it for $20. The Elements further to the right are generally more rare than those first listed, so it may take multiple attempts to finish that collection.
Get to Work adds two new Crystals: Nitelite and Crandestine, which can be found on the Planet Sixam.
The Sims 4 Get Famous features a Celestial Crystal Crown that can be purchased and makes good use of Crystals. Crystals are also utilized in Archaeology

Anyone know why I would find Crytacoo on my roof?
If you have Seasons installed lightning strikes leave crystals and other collectables occasionally.
