Lazachite: Ambrosia of the gods

Write about a rare material of divine origins that can be found in your world. What are its uses?

Properties

Material Characteristics

A usually hexagonally shaped crystal. When noncharged it has a hollow interior. When "charged" the crystal's center will "bleed" (think kyber crystals from Star Wars, sorta) giving it a different color depending on what it's charged to become. (for example, AirForce's amulet "Astrolos" has a blueish hue to it)

Physical & Chemical Properties

Depending on the charge that is given to the crystal, it will have different properties based on that charge. For instance, Foxglove's crystal amulet has a warmth to it, signifying its' connection to nature.

Geology & Geography

Pure lazachite is a very rare element. There are only around 50 samples of this element circulating in the world, though even fewer samples have been confirmed.

History & Usage

History

According to Greek mythos, Calliphana, the goddess of potential and longevity could grow these crystals on her arm and charge them with life-prolonging powers. She would then every 500 years give one of these crystals to each of her fellow deities to ingest and prolong their life. It became known as ambrosia, the life-giving substance of the gods. Of course, now scientists have identified ambrosia as Lazachite. After Calliphana was caught feeding Lazachite to a mortal whom she fell in love with, she was kicked out of Olympus by her family. Now she roams the earth for eternity, banned from ever returning to Olympus. To spite her fellow Genesians (learn more about Genesians in the C.G.I diation article) Calliphana gave 50 mortals each a Lazachite amulet, charged with the first dia genes. This meant that when those 50 had children, the gene would be carried on through the generations (with some exceptions).

Manufacturing & Products

Traces of the element are found in an illegal black-market drug known as Fuerza, an amplifier of the diavarant gene that causes the activation of a person's dia gene. However, due to the nature of the drug, it has also been known to cause severe, even irreparable damage to a person's body. The drug is illegally smuggled into the states and then sold to lowlifes and others who would use it for harm.

Hazards

In testing, synthesized Lazachite has been found to have radioactive properties, which is how it causes the dia gene activation. If exposed to synthesized Lazachite, it is considered a carcinogen, and multiple cases have circulated of people being exposed to synthesized Lazachite being found with cancer.

Distribution

Law & Regulation

The use of synthesized Lazachite is outlawed by the government, as it is a danger to others.
