Moon Quartz
Properties
Material Characteristics
Moon Quartz is a translucent, milky white stone. Even when found naturally, it's generally already smooth and some-what rounded, as it's only found under the sea. Rock sizes can range from a pebble to around the size of the palm of a human hand, and they are often flatter rather than more round.
Physical & Chemical Properties
The quartz warms up quickly and can hold heat for a long time, and when exposed to water, it will glow white, sometimes tinted with purple, blue, or green.
Geology & Geography
Moon Quartz is only found in the White Sea, where it generates in shallow water from volcanic activity in the region.
History & Usage
History
Before Durnatel became a full-fledged kingdom, moon quartz was only worn in traditional Durnish jewelry. It was said the stone kept the land fertile and brought rain, a useful commodity in the dry land. Children often recieved moon quartz jewelry on their tenth birthday, and it was a common wedding gift as well. After Dareious Kaspor established his company on the White Sea, the quartz spread globally and is now a common street vendor item all throughout the world. However, pure and high quality stones are often still kept in Durnatel to continue as a traditional charm item.
Everyday use
In everywhere but Durnatel, moon quartz is seen as cheap and gaudy jewelry found at street markets. Despite this, it's still popular among children, who love it for its glowing properties. Durnatel holds it to a high esteem, as it is traditionally seen as a water-bringing stone and scared object.
Distribution
Trade & Market
All commercial moon quartz is originally controlled by Darieous Kaspor and his farm on the White Sea. Because his products have a well-deserved reputation for being cheap, however, some jewelers have begun to buy his products, strip the stones from them, and create their own, higher-quality jewelry from them.
