Hyaline was a milky or white form of quartz[3] and was usually cut as plates for inlays or cut cabochon and mounted in a silver setting.[4][5]
Description[]
The milkiness of these ornamental stones was caused by tiny droplets of water or carbon dioxide trapped in the crystals. Some specimens contained flecks of gold.[3][4][5] A typical stone had a base value of 10 gp.[2][3][4]
Powers[]
Hyaline was sensitive to magic and would give off a blue glow whenever magic was activated, triggered, cast, or passed within 20 feet (6.1 meters) of a hyaline gem.[5]
