Water opal was a rare and valuable gem stone.[4][5] They were favored by the deities Deep Sashelas and Savras.[6]
Description[]
Water opal was a clear to translucent gemstone with small flashes of color.[4][5] Opals without any color were considered plain hyalite, an inferior stone, and were nearly worthless.[4][5] Water opal was rare and highly prized for use in decorating mirrors and windows and in the creation of scrying devices such as crystal balls.[5][7] A typical specimen had a base value of 1,000 gp.[1][2][3]
Powers[]
An elixir of health could be made without any spellcasting by grinding a water opal to powder and mixing it with holy water.[5]
Reputation[]
Water opals were considered prized gems among the drow. They often used them on their sculptures and scrying crystals.[8]
