Red tear

Red Tears are gems unique to the Realms, where legends say they are the tears of lovers for their men slain in battle, stained red by the spilled blood of the fallen. Red tears are teardrop-shaped, glossy crystals of unusually vivid fiery orange, cherry red, or blood-crimson hue. Most such gems are found in deep mines or gorge-walls where old rock has been exposed. They are also called Tempus' weeping. A typical specimen has a base value of 1000gp.
