Kings' tears

King's Tears are sometimes called frozen tears, or lich weepings. Unique to the Realms, they are transparent teardrop-shaped stones with a smooth surface and are seemingly unbreakable by physical force. Folklore suggests these stones are the crystallized tears of long-dead necromancer kings. In each jewel can be seen that which the weeping king loved ages ago. The truth is still unknown but sages value these gems most of all. A typical specimen has a base value of 5000gp
