Mineral uses?

Hi. So, I just came back to this game after being away from it since shortly after its launch on Kongregate. Of course, I see all these new features, and I like wow, a lot has changed in the past few years.
I start up a new game through Steam, and after a bit this question comes to mind:
What the heck are we supposed to do with Moonstone and Valestone? I mean, the other three get made into sprite food, but now that the old level building aspect is gone (miss that by the way, was one of my favorite parts back then. However, the new stuff is a pretty fair trade I suppose), what are they used for since you don't make sprite food out of them, which seems to be the only purpose minerals have now.
This is eating away at me because I just don't know why they're there other than to get in the way if they don't have an actual use. Are they planning on adding new sprites that eat them? Is there some use that my relentless digging through the forums and wiki pages have yet to find? I'm dying to know.

They are adding new sprites in the sense that they are adding new guns, opening the core, and looking into the balance issues with Chaos.

agree
There will probably be some use for them in the future. So don't walk past minerals thinking "Those aren't of any use." Always pick up some mineral, on every level.
Obviously larger minerals give you more mineral than small ones do. But how do you choose the color? One strategy is to pick up the mineral for your battle sprite. Another strategy is to pick up the biggest sprite mineral, to make food for trading. Another strategy is to pick up the biggest mineral of any color, to stockpile for the future day when green and blue are useful. That's what I do.

Trolling your party by
Trolling your party by collecting the largest 'useless' mineral you can find....
That is about it and that isn't even an ingame objective...
Either prestige mission or waiting the forever incoming arcade redux.
