Anomaly Description

SCP-409 resembles a large quartz crystal. Any objects coming in contact with SCP-409 will begin to crystallize after three hours. Subjects report this effect to be extremely painful, and similar to frostbite. After complete crystallization, the object will begin to make snapping and creaking noises for approximately ██████ ███████, before bursting into thousands of fragments with great force. Nothing at this time is able to reverse the effect in organic matter, including amputation of affected areas.

Special Containment Procedures

SCP-409 is to be held in a █ by █ stud chamber in Sector 3 within the Biological Containment Wing of Advanced Containment Facility Apollo. No personnel are to enter the area of the containment zone without a Hazmat Suit.
