Hypersthene, also known as bronzite, was a gemstone usually cut cabochon.[3][4]
Description[]
This semi-precious stone was brown and opaque (sometimes reddish or greenish) and contained silvery spangles. It was rare to find an unflawed piece larger than 1⁄2 in (13 mm) across, and as a result the stone yielded small gemstones.[3][4] A typical stone had a base value of 50 gp.[1][2]
Powers[]
Carrying or wearing one of these gemstones made the bearer undetectable by the wyvern watch spell. In common parlance this property was known as wyvern warding.[4]
