Wikipedia has an article about: Staurolite. |
Nune was the common name for staurolite (sometimes called "cross stone" or "fairy stone") in the Realms.[3][4]
Description[]
These ornamental stones were translucent brown or nearly clear and occurred in small cross-shaped crystals up to one inch (two and a half centimeters) across either arm. These were commonly polished to a smooth sheen and pierced to be worn as pendants or linked as bracelets. On Toril, the cross was used as an ornament and not as a holy symbol.[3][4] A typical stone had a base value of 10 gp.[1][2]
Powers[]
Nune stone powder was an essential ingredient of the ink used to scribe dispel magic scrolls and it was added to the immersion treatment when preparing to enchant a wand of negation.[4]
