Tigerfang crystal (often shorted to just tigerfang)
is an opaque to semi-translucent stone. It forms in long crystals
and breaks readily to create a razor-sharp edge. Each crystal is
either ivory-hued or colorless at the tip. The base may be orange,
silver, or white, but it is always flecked with pure black.
Tigerfang crystal can be found stretching out in
dangerous, jagged ridges in the frozen north. The best-known deposit
is not far from Pinefar, but several also exist in Mhoragian
territory. Tigerfang crystal can sometimes be found in sheltered
caves, but it is more commonly exposed to the sky and obscured by
the ice and snow.
Magically, tigerfang crystal is attuned to the
element of fire -- a surprise, considering the icy caverns of its
origin -- and it also has certain uses related to the mental
discipline of transformation. |
