Precious Stone

Precious Stones are items that have many uses besides just looking pretty or being rare.

Types

There are 5 precious stones:

• 

  Blue Agate

• 

  Emerald

• 

  Ruby

• 

  Sphalerite

• 

  Tourmaline

Uses

Precious stones can be piled into stockpiles just to see how pretty they look but they also have very useful functions.

Precious stones are useful tools. They perform the same functions as other blunt rock types and hard tools.

Precious stones can also be used as blunt weapons. While not as effective as a Sharpened Stick, they can still be useful.

Giving a precious stone to a member of the opposite (or even the same sex) will form a couple instantly without the manual bonding process.

Holding a precious stone will confer Fear Protection. Setting down the precious stone stops this buff but picking the precious stone back up will immediately start the protection again. However, this isn't an unlimited buff. Eventually the specific precious stone will run out of buff and a new one will have to be found to get the buff protection again.
