Jezubyte Crystal
Simple in form, and uncompromisingly boring in appearance, the Jezubyte Crystal is one of the least understood minerals to have been discovered on Ravnica. Found buried in the ground, the crystals grow in small clumps on common rocks and stones. Only inches in height, a fully mature crystal is a muddy white color, covered in a slight slim. Immature crystals appear clear, and blemish free, and have been extracted for use in small jewelry by uninformed miners. Because, despite their unappealing exterior, the Jezubyte Crystals contain extraordinary properties that suite many practices.
Originally discovered by the Orzhov Syndicate, the crystals were found buried in the ground over important burial sites. Dug up in the process of beautifying the area, one of the lower tier members took a group home and suddenly had a great power increase. Now able to command the spirits of the dead, an act that this individual had not been able to do previously, they climbed the ranks before using their information of the stone to cement their place in the history of the Syndicate. Now the crystals are cherished when they are found, and only the most respected members are allowed to make use of their necrotic ability enhancements.
When the Simic Combine found the crystal in one of the Zonot, there was a great deal of interest in its ability. But when nothing seemed to come of it, neither abilities to deal with the spirit, or abilities around water, it was relegated to a status symbol. Since high ranking members of the Syndicate wore the crystal, jewellery for successful members of the Combine was created from the crystals. It wasn't until a leading scientist was the only surviving member of a poised dinner party, that the crystals ability to make the wearer immune to poison was realized. It is currently hypothesized that due to the poisonous condition of the oceanic water, at least to above dwelling humanoids, that extended contact with ocean mist created this immunity. Further testing is being done to discover the extend of the stones ability.
