A shard in this context refers to a piece of a crystal.
List of Shards
- Note: The rarities listed are estimates and depend on the status of the treasure system in the area hunted. Average values listed are approximations and are generally taken from the sell values of a character selling gems with no trading bonus. See the Trading article for more information on variations of sell values.
a cloudy alexandrite shard
| Description: Cloudy grey at times and watery green at others, the shard's unfinished nature little diminishes its peculiar color-shifting nature.
|
a nival everfrost shard
| Description: The shard is pale and clear, but fingers of frost clinging to its surface suggest that it is no mere diamond, but a chunk of crystallized rhimar. The jewel radiates intense cold, causing the air around it to puff into faint wisps of mist. A blizzard of frigid blue and glacial green glints wink across its jagged facets.
|
a rainbowed ammolite shard
| Description: A rainbow plays along the surface of the ammolite shard, the surface of which is ridged in a pattern reminiscent of a great lizard's scales. Colors all along the spectrum, from vivid indigo to crisp red and with greens and yellows and oranges in between, scintillate over the fossil.
|
a shimmertine shard
| Description: The curving shimmertine fragment is rough in most places, but iridescent hues dance along the smooth surfaces where the stone fractured along its proper cleavage. From one direction, the semi-translucent stone appears pure white, but, from another, many long, thin stripes in various rainbow hues draw a parallel course through the heart of the stone.
|
a virescent nephrite shard
| Description: Uneven in hue, the shard of nephrite transitions from a pallid lime to a richer forest green, with a snowstorm of white specks trapped just under the surface. The clash of hues is reminiscent of a forest lazing beneath a fall of snowflakes.
