Red tear

Red Tears, also known as Tempus' weeping, are gemstones found only in the Realms in deep mines or anywhere old stone has been exposed by erosion, mining, or rockfall. They are teardrop-shaped crystals with a glossy surface, vividly colored fiery orange, cherry red, or blood crimson. Legends say they were the tears of lovers left behind after their sweethearts perished in battle, stained by the blood of the fallen. A typical specimen had a base value of 1000 gp.
