Electrum
Properties
Material Characteristics
Most of it's time, electrum is stored in compacted rods. Though in use it is quite often a powder form. The actual appearance of electrum is pink/purple in colour, though the shade can somewhat vary based on the potency of the ore with colours ranging from a light pink which indicates a weak strength, and dark purple indicating great potency. Electrum, on some occasions, has been found to be partially soluble in water; this is most notably been seen in the rivers running through the city of Kennerheim which are purple in hue after the pollution of electrum over the years they have mined it.
Physical & Chemical Properties
In it's ore, electrum resembles a crystal-like substance, though it is not opaque. To the touch, electrum does not produce any heat so it feels like cold stone.
Geology & Geography
Electrum is most commonly found in the vast mines under Kennerheim, though other veins have been found in smaller quantities far south of Cresteria or Dire.
