Almaz

A critical component of Lightcraft, these diamond-like stones are able to store vast amounts of light energy, typically gathered from the sun. When fully charged they give off a faint glow as overflow, but otherwise remain a solid white color that fades to translucent black as they become depleted.

They have a close relation to the Almazyn, though the exact details of it are lost to time. Despite the decline in its usage over the millennia, Almaz is a rather common mineral across Castores. Though no longer known for the great crystaline forests that once made up the Broken Sea, rivers of Almaz can be found tracing their way through most rocky surfaces, causing the rocks and mountains to sparkle long into the night.
