Mudd holds a handful of crystals

Love potion crystals were an item Harry Mudd conned from someone while on the planet Sirius IX in 2269. He, in turn, sold the crystals to several thousand of the planet's inhabitants, who experienced adverse effects from them.

Escaping subsequent charges on Sirius, Mudd escaped to Motherlode, where he attempted to sell his remaining love crystals to the miners for three hundred credits per crystal. There he was found by Spock of the USS Enterprise, and was taken into custody aboard the starship. On the Enterprise, Mudd talked Head Nurse Christine Chapel into taking a crystal from him to use on Spock. He also broke several crystals near an air system grille to aid in his escape aboard the shuttlecraft NCC-170112.

The crystals worked by breaking the crystal and applying the liquid within to one's skin, and then touching another person. Rubbing the liquid potion on the skin could cause temporary dizziness. To Harry Mudd's own surprise, the crystals actually had a temporary effect on the Enterprise crew. Spock fell briefly in love with Nurse Chapel, while the crew of the Enterprise herself became intoxicated by the love potion fumes through the air ducts. (TAS: "Mudd's Passion")
