Similar in nature to organic lifeforms, a sunstone crystal can be "shaped" to serve specific purposes. Some, when activated, can duplicate their mass; forming structures such as buildings or vehicles. Others shape themselves into hive-like nests to act as computer systems. While others again can serve as small communicative devices or tools and instruments.

  • Sunstone Crystal is a type of crystal used on the planet Krypton, both as a building material and as a form of computer system. Several incarnations of the Fortress of Solitude are made mainly from the crystals, or otherwise incorporate them into its design. Many structures in the city of Kandor, and now on New Krypton, are made with this material. (Superman: The Movie, Superman Returns, Comics)

  • Similar in nature to organic lifeforms, a sunstone crystal can be "shaped" to serve specific purposes. Some, when activated, can duplicate their mass; forming structures such as buildings or vehicles. Others shape themselves into hive-like nests to act as computer systems. While others again can serve as small communicative devices or tools and instruments. Upon their discovery on Earth by Lex Luthor, who had found a Kryptonian Sunstone Warship and had attempted to destroy Metropolis with it, Superman disassembled the ship and inadvertently created a new Fortress of Solitude with one crystal. Keeping the remaining crystals within the fortress, Superman continues to study their natures while determining how their use may benefit Earth and human-kind.

Many structures in the city of Kandor, and now on New Krypton, are made with this material. (Superman: The Movie, Superman Returns, Comics) The crystals are activated upon exposure to water, whereby they begin growing, sometimes forming structures. They may also take on the properties of other stones near them at the time they begin growing. (Superman Returns)
