Moonstone

Known for it's use in Elven craft, Moonstone is a white, quartz-like ore that has been known to shine under moonlight. It is found all across Daerraphere and is definitely candy to the eye.

Uses
Moonstone is commonly used in Elven, Amnian, and Gnomish craft and can be found in the hilts of blades as well as the collar-pieces of armor. It is very expensive and usually is carried by wealthy miners and merchants. It's one downfall is that it is very hard to sharpen and is usually only mastered by smiths who have been in the trade for a VERY long time. It can also be found decorating armor and weapons among the Vigil of Canis.

Trivia

 * Moonstone is slightly denser than quartz, making it better for weapons and armor.
 * Although Elves use it in some of their armor and weapons, it is mostly used for other items in daily life (silverware, home decoration, etc.)
