NODEE 

Crystals 

1.0

Blender 3.4

How to install?

After downloading Nodee_Crystals.blend file, inside Blender go to edit > preferences

Under the File Paths tab go on the bottom  and create a new Asset Library. Choose name and file path on your disk, and after that put Nodee_Crystals.blend inside of that folder

Then you can open Asset Browser panel

On the left side you can choose library, or set list to "all" to be able to search in all libraries.

If you want to use my catalogs in the asset browser you can put the blender_assets txt file inside the same folder as the blend file.
