Gem Shard

A Gem Shard is a collectable in Crash Bandicoot 2: N-Tranced. They are colored gems that have been split into four parts. Gem shards can be found in certain levels. Green gem shards can be found in Arabian levels, red shards can be found in Egyptian levels, and blue shards can be found in volcanic levels. Once all four gem shards of a certain color have been collected, a new level is unlocked. All of them are needed to unlock the N. Tropy boss fight.
