I think you mean "Death Phantom" arc, which is, of course, what I'm referring to. But what "dark crystal?" The crystal Black Lady had when she first appeared to Demando and Saffire was undoubtedly the 30th Century Silver Crystal, which she stole just before the attack on Crystal Tokyo by the Black Moon. I'm not sure if "emulation" would be the right word-- it's the same exact crystal, and as King Endymion explains, two people possessing the same body, the same soul, the same power (basically, the same incarnation) can't exist in the same place. That's why Usagi started to disappear when around NQS, because even though Chibiusa stole the 30th Century Crystal, NQS still had some sort of attachment to it-- enough for it to protect her (in a way, although it COULD have been her own residual power) during the Black Moon attacks, and enough for it to not be entirely Chibiusa's-- after all, Chibiusa forms her OWN crystal, the Pink Moon Crystal AND THERE ARE THREE CRYSTALS IN EXISTENCE THEN.
If, in Stars, Usagi's Crystal changed, then it would still end up being the same as NQS' in the 30th century. And no matter how you dice it, the Silver Crystal *IS* Usagi's Sailor Crystal (or again, the Sailor Crystal is WITHIN the Silver Crystal; the Silver Crystal is what enables her to be Sailor Moon). She had it in her all along, and when she DIDN'T have it, she was unable to transform or use her powers.
Basically, with Cosmos, Cosmos must either have her own generated power-crystal which differentiates HER from "Sailor Moon/Usagi" the precious incarnation, and either the Sailor Crystal was separated from the Silver Crystal or Cosmos got a new one somehow (possibly from the paradox Usagi created when she jumped into the Cauldron, thereby restarting the Cauldron's life cycle and the birth of stars, including Sailor Crystals). Also, genealogy isn't mentioned much in Sailor Moon, but it's not explained why Chibiusa had her OWN Pink Moon Crystal and her OWN Sailor Crystal, rather than one passed down by NQS (which would make sense, since NQS supposedly loses her abilities as a Sailor Senshi not long after she becomes Queen). It doesn't explain what happens to the 30th Century Crystal *after* NQS dies. Why would Chibiusa need it, if she's got her own? And where does the Sailor Crystal go, or did it "transfer" into Chibiusa and thereby PREVENT Usagi from ever becoming Sailor Moon again? Since it IS shown that by taking away the Silver Crystal/the Sailor Crystal, a Senshi dies, something else must have kept NQS alive past that point. It could have been the Silver Crystal, if the Sailor Crystal was indeed passed on, but again, how does that explain how NQS lived as she did anyway-- why would she have a lifespan at all if the Silver Crystal kept her alive when she "shouldn't have been"? Thus, there must be something more than just the Silver Crystal and/or the Sailor Crystal that has a tie to her lifeline, as something has to happen to that 30th century crystal that still allows her to die, Chibiusa to become the next Sailor Moon, and Chibiusa to continue wielding her own crystal.
