Elektron

Elekron, otherwise known as amber, electrum, or resinite, is fossilised tree resin that is famous for its beautiful colour. Given its greatly desires aesthetic, elektron is used in a lot of decorative objects, especially jewellery. It is also burnt to produce an oil that is a base ingredient in many perfumes. Elektron is found in underground deposits, but oceanic weathering can cause the sea to breach these deposits and shake pieces of elektron loose, causing them to wash up on beaches.
Folktales insist that elektron is actually formed as a bead of sweat from where the sun's rays impact the ground, and that the ocean sweeps them away and deposits them elsewhere, hence why elektron is often found washed up on the shore. As such, it has some religious significance to Phoenix Priests.
