Zircon

Tier: 4

Complexity: 18

Crafting Time: 4.5

A gemstone of many colors and varieties, Zircon is often used as a cheaper alternative to diamonds. Due to their high resistance to wear and tear, they are used primarily for jewelry, though few Zircon crystals get large enough to be used for jewelry. Despite this, the Testoideans consider the gemstone highly favorable, as they seem to have a magical affinity for time magic, so the Testoideans use it in their crafting style.
