Orbaline was the common name in the Realms for benitoite.[1][3]

Description[]

Orbaline crystals were relatively soft and usually found in fragments rather than whole crystals. The most common use for orbaline was as an inlay for coffers, ornamental boxes, and statuettes.[3] When a specimen was large enough to cut, these yielded blue to colorless faceted gems.[1][3]. A typical specimen had a base value of 500 gp.[1][2]

Powers[]

Orbaline, when inlaid or mounted on an object, greatly increased that object's resistance to magical fire and conferred almost as much benefit against normal fire. This only affected inanimate objects; living creatures and undead could not gain this boon.[3]
