A Treatise on Volatile Gemstones and Minerals[]
HANDLE WITH CARE! SAMPLE ENCLOSED! Gems that amplify energy! Can you believe it?! They expel energy so rapidly it's almost like black powder, but significantly more volatile. Just a simple tap to one of these gems can produce an incredible amount of energy! The weapons applications are limitless; instead of blasting powder, we could just use a small gem! We could make explosives capable of leveling buildings that could fit in your pocket. The only problem being that we can't seem to build anything capable of surviving the blast. We've lost so many cannons, only to be blown to pieces from even the tiniest gem. Not to mention the soldiers lost due to brutish handling of the gems.
