Orl

Orl is a gemstone believed to be unique to the North, where it is found only in "blue caves" such as those at Wheloon. Orls are found in the softest rock, as sharp-edged, spindle-shaped, symmetrical crystals of red (sometimes tawny or orange) hue. Red-hued orls are the most valued, and some orl fanciers prefer to wear the unfaceted, natural crystals rather than faceted cuttings. A typical specimen has a base value of 1000gp.
