[edit] Early History
The Crystal of Air was hidden in Shanghai on the planet Earth by a Kryptonian some time prior to Kal-El's arrival.
[edit] Season Four
The Crystal of Air was discovered using an ancient manuscript purchased by Lex Luthor, who eventually learned that the manuscript contained a hidden map. Along with Jason Teague, Lex traveled to a temple in Shanghai, East China, but he and Jason were taken into custody and tortured by Chinese officers. When Clark Kent and Lana Lang followed them to Shanghai, Lana was captured and tortured as well, summoning Isobel. Isobel incapacitated Clark long enough to find the Crystal of Air. Clark battled Isobel, but in the process, they lost track of the Crystal of Air, and Jason was able to pocket it unnoticed and mail it to himself from Shanghai to Smallville where he showed Lana he had it. Later, Lana staged a break-in at their apartment above the Talon, leading Jason to believe that Lionel Luthor had stolen the stone.
Later, Jason and Genevieve kidnapped Lex and Lionel, and tortured them in an attempt to discover the location of the Crystal of Air. Lionel lied and told them that he gave it to Lana. Genevieve confronted Lana and demanded the stone. They struggled, and when Genevieve began to strangle Lana, Isobel emerged once more and used the Crystal of Air to stab Genevieve in the chest, killing her. Either because she had fulfilled her mission to destroy the descendants of Duchess Gertrude or because she had stained the crystal with human blood, Isobel retreated and the Mark of Transference disappeared from Lana's back.
However, because the Crystal of Air was stained with human blood, another meteor shower headed toward Earth, particularly Smallville. (Presumably, the blood on the crystal "activated" it as a beacon to other Kryptonian artifacts, waking the Black Ship and the Disciples of Zod, sending it from high orbit to a rendezvous trajectory).
Lana entrusted the "murder weapon" to Clark for safekeeping, and Clark took the Crystal of Air to the Kawatche Caves where he united it with the Crystal of Fire. United, the two crystals revealed to Clark the location of the Crystal of Water.
