Cultural Significance and Usage

Can be used by people within the Jhatee Law and Justice department as a symbol of decernment and use of trickery and misdirection to discover the truth.

Hazards

Very mildly radioactive. Long term exposure in close contact to a particular body part, such as wearing a ring of it for years, has been shown to age that hand over decades of life. Thus the stone has not been used for long term wear jewlery since this link has been found in the middle industrial ages. It is still used for speical occations or for fashion accessories that do not stay near
