What Someone with Mineral Lore at 51% Knows
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
People in Glorantha have as much trouble telling gems apart
|
|||
|
|
as people on Earth do. They may have more, because the shape of
|
|||
|
|
a stone gives no information about it. With some exceptions, any
|
|||
|
|
stone could have its shape because a sorceror formed it that way.
|
|||
|
|
Sorcerors can also mold a mottled or banded stone like clay until
|
|||
|
|
it has a consistent color. Sorcerors or simple craftsmen can
|
|||
|
|
change a stone's texture. This leaves color, transparency,
|
|||
|
|
toughness, and fragility as the main distinguishing
|
|||
|
|
characteristics. Glass is the great unknown. It can be flecked,
|
|||
|
|
banded, layered, milky, silky or catseye. It can be transparent
|
|||
|
|
or translucent, or opaque if a dark color.
|
|||

Notes:
|
|||
|
|
s = solid (assume all gems are solid unless an m or b note
|
|||
|
|
appears)
|
|||
|
|
f = flecked
|
|||
|
|
m = milky or waxy
|
|||
|
|
b = banded
|
|||
|
|
l = layered
|
|||
|
|
c = catseye
|
|||
|
|
w = waxy
|
|||
|
|
g = glittering
|
|||
|
|
Multicolored stones are of the same transparency as solid stones
|
|||
|
|
of the same type; where there is none, Tp (Transparent), Tl
|
|||
|
|
(Translucent), or O (Opaque) appears.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
