Talk:Violine

Having a Wikipedia link is fine, but the linked-to Wikipedia page is for a French comic book, Violine. Hence, I have removed it.

However, I can't find a source for a real-world gemstone named "violine". The picture is labelled as an amethyst elsewhere on the Internet. The Realms sources do not link violines and amethysts, so I suspect this might be a wholly fictional gem. — BadCatMan (talk) 01:07, December 12, 2017 (UTC)


 * Ah, I found the problem. The gemstone is violane but it is misspelled on page 134 of Forgotten Realms Adventures (but spelled correctly on page 132 and in Dragon magazine 72). This misspelling propagated to Volo's Guide to All Things Magical and the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting 3rd edition on page 300, so I guess we are stuck with violine. The external link, which belongs in the appendix, should be to violane, a violet-colored variety of diopside. &mdash;Moviesign (talk) 01:27, December 12, 2017 (UTC)


 * Of course it did. :\ Okay, what about the image? Is it amethyst or violane? (I'm not a fan of the real-world images, but recognise we don't have much other choice for illustration but video game treasure drops.) — BadCatMan (talk) 01:45, December 12, 2017 (UTC)
