What is the item ID for Crystalarium?

The Crystalarium's item ID in Stardew Valley for spawning via name injection (like naming a pet) is 21, but it's classified as a Big Craftable (BC), so the full code to spawn it directly is often cited as BC21 or just 21 depending on the input method (like character name vs. item code list). You use it in text boxes where the game reads input, like naming a pet at Marnie's, to get the item, but it's a special type of object, not a regular "item" in the inventory sense for simple spawning.
