Sometimes a very special rare [[glimaerstone]] is set into jewelry. They change in the light. If you cast 205, Light, at it, it will glow brightly. It also changes its description if you're outside, depending on the light.
'''Truthie jewelry''', also known as '''[[glimaerstone]] jewelry''', is jewelry that is available for wear in various locations and features ambient scripts visible solely to the wearer. The items are alterable by a merchant, but must retain a LONG description with a naturally (re: treasure drop) colored glimaerstone. The brightness (or dimness) of the glimaerstone depends on either its exposure to natural light or the spell [[Light (205)]] cast on it.

Truthie jewelry, also known as glimaerstone jewelry, is jewelry that is available for wear in various locations and features ambient scripts visible solely to the wearer. The items are alterable by a merchant, but must retain a LONG description with a naturally (re: treasure drop) colored glimaerstone. The brightness (or dimness) of the glimaerstone depends on either its exposure to natural light or the spell Light (205) cast on it.

Although Winedotter gnomes are not noted for their jewelcraft, one Winedotter family living beneath Ta'Nalfein discovered a technique for enhancing the light of a glimaerstone. The source of these specially treated glimaerstones is not extensively known, and most outside Ta'Nalfein believe them to be elven work. This technique somehow quenches the natural glow within a glimaerstone and replaces it with a remarkable ability to absorb and multiply light. At their brightest degree, such "treated" glimaerstones will leave afterimages in the vision of those who look at them for too long.

Knowledgeable jewelers have been storing away treated glimaerstones in anticipation of the day when the source dries up.
