Mechanics & Inner Workings

It is true the Tetlachihuiani would have been the first unfortunate victim.   Once he touched the piece, it would siphon blood through his pores while simultaneously shifting its composition to drop-shaped pieces of gold coated in a blue slime.   In stories told, the quickness of it causes the skin to partially explode and the person to collapse atop treasure; lingering just enough to contemplate his riches before dying.
— from the Āmatlahcuilo

Manufacturing process

Throughout the history of Mist Valley, there have been many innovations and inventions that have pushed the limits of a stone's capabilities. Going so far as to fashion stones that change unconventional materials to non-metal.   However, because of the Tetlachihuiani's secretive nature, the knowledge of how to make focus stones of unique qualities are not known to the wider world; if not lost totally.
Its maker is unknown, but it is popularly believed that he died accidentally while testing its qualities. Never, himself, knowing what he created.
