====''Final Fantasy''====
In ''Final Fantasy'', the Earth Crystal is located on floor B5 of the [[Cavern of Earth]]. It is the first crystal that must be restored by the [[Warriors of Light]]. The Earth Crystal preserves the vitality of the land. Many years before the game's events, the Earth Crystal's power was drained by [[Lich]], causing the surrounding lands to decay. After the Warriors of Light defeat Lich, the Earth Crystal's power is restored.

In ''[[Final Fantasy Mystic Quest]]'', the '''Crystal of Earth''' is the first crystal that [[Benjamin]] has to restore. The [[Flamerus Rex]] is draining the crystal's power, causing trees and plants to decay in [[Foresta]] and nearby areas. Once Benjamin and [[Tristam]] defeat the Flamerus Rex, the Earth Crystal is restored, and plants grow back in Foresta and its nearby areas.

In ''[[Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo Tales]]'', its name is parsed '''crystal of earth''', which rests within the forest area, right ahead of the second volume of "[[Unicorn and the Town Musicians]]". Unlike most of its appearances, the crystal of earth is green, whereas the [[crystal of light]] was made the yellow crystal. The crystal of earth is the second crystal that [[Chocobo (character)|Chocobo]] must restore. The [[Unicorn]] is the guardian of the crystal of earth. When Chocobo unlocks the book's first epilogue, the crystal of earth's light is restored. After the Unicorn briefly introduces itself to Chocobo, [[Shirma]], and [[Chroma]], a dark mist surrounds the crystal of earth, draining its power, and [[Bebuzzu]] appears. He swallows the crystal and takes on a new form. Chocobo must must defeat Bebuzzu in a [[pop-up duel]] to recover the crystal of earth, although its power is still missing because it was inhaled by Bebuzzu.

The crystal of earth and the other three crystals are featured in the last book, "[[Legend of the Crystals]]". The crystal of earth is simply named the '''green crystal''' in the book's opening. According to the opening, the green crystal created planets and stars from nothing, bringing the land into existence.
