Wikipedia has an article about: Prehnite. |
Thuparlial, also known as prehnite, was found in hardened lava as a lining to gas cavities in the rock, but rarely was this lining thick enough or an attractive color to warrant cutting it into gemstones.[3][4]
Description[]
Thuparlial was hard, resilient, and translucent gemstone which varied in color from deep green through pale greenish yellow and from yellow to brown.[3][4] Thuparlial was cut in facets if light-colored but otherwise made into cabochons.[3] It was considered an ornamental stone and a typical specimen had a base value of 10 gp.[1][2]
Powers[]
Powdered, this mineral was used in inks for creating the pyrotechnics and heat metal spells. Red wizards who had access to large quantities of thuparlial experimented with using it as a substitute ingredient for many fire- and heat-based spells. It was unknown if they succeeded.[4]
