How to use

Benefits of precious stones

The Tourmaline can be used to butcher animals.

The Tourmaline can be used as a blunt weapon. While not as effective as a Sharpened Stick, they can still be useful.

Giving a Tourmaline to an unrelated clan member will form a couple instantly without the manual grooming and bonding process.

Giving a Tourmaline to a hominid that isn't part of the clan will befriend them and they will join your clan.

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

Finding and inspecting the Tourmaline will complete one of the Spiritual Inception Evolution Feats.
