Red crystal
From Smallville Wiki
The red crystal was a powerful artifact that Martian Manhunter carried with him to trap Phantom Zone escapees. It was later destroyed by the futuristic villain the Persuader to enable Brainiac's success over Clark Kent.
The Phantom Zone crystal is a similar device to the Crystal of El, which is carried by members of the House of El.

[edit] Powers and Abilities
Like the Crystal of El, the red crystal was able to remove wraiths from possessed humans. This is an artifact that was used by the Martian Manhunter to trap criminals in the Phantom Zone.
According to the Legion of Super-Heroes, the crystal was used in a future alternate reality to remove Brainiac from a possessed Chloe Sullivan. However, due to the intervention of the Persuader, the crystal was destroyed before this could take place creating a different future.
[edit] Vulnerabilities
The red crystal was vulnerable to the Persuader's Atomic Axe which is able to cut through atoms and surpass a Kryptonian's invulnerability when he traveled through time and destroyed it.
[edit] Season Six
Martian Manhunter used the red crystal to remove Dr. Hudson from Clark Kent's mind and body after he tracked him down and telepathically entered Clark's mind to defeat Hudson.
After Martian Manhunter finally was able to track down the wraith later known as Bizarro, he attempted to use the crystal to remove the wraith from the human host he was inhabiting, but Bizarro awoke and severely injured the Martian, forcing him to escape before LuthorCorp showed up.
[edit] Season Eight
When Clark and Lois Lane were transported to the Phantom Zone, they escaped using a portal built by Zor-El along with Kara Kent, who sought out Martian Manhunter to get his crystal to capture Faora, who had also escaped and inhabited Lois' body.
The Persuader time-traveled to the present where he destroyed the crystal, preventing Clark from destroying Brainiac, who had possessed Chloe.
