The first time I found this strange stone was a few years ago. I was little and had seen it at the market with my mother. She had bought a dose for herself to help her sleep. I remember she ground it and use it in her tea, but other than that, I don't remember. It's been too long.

Otherwise, from what I learned, this stone would be formed in the sea, inside a block of sand. A sailor once told me that it would be the physical manifestation of the souls of those lost at sea, but I doubt it. Despite its blue color, I don't feel any magic in it and after all, he only told me after his 6th beer, but we don't really know how it is made. The only thing we know is that on rare occasions it is possible to find it washed up on the beach or in salt mines near the sea.

The properties of this stone can be quite interesting. Basically, it has no particular effect other than being quite beautiful. A slightly transparent blue with small white and purple spots inside. Some people use it as a stone for jewelry, but once powdered. It gives its most common use. It helps to manipulate dreams, increasing the strength and realism of them. It also allows the body to fall into a state of trance that is very restful for him, allowing him a particularly invigorating night. Very useful for people who have difficulty sleeping. During this rest, the person will have powerful and extremely realistic dreams that are almost as real as reality. The alchemists who told me about the effects also said that they who had taken it had kept the feelings of the dream for several days after it. Whether it was positive, like a happy event, or sad and bad like an injury. Even though some seemed a little unsure whether it was part of the dream caused by the stone and when it was really awakened.

On the other hand, I was warned of the harmful effects of this stone. Taking too much of it, whether in one dose or in several doses, would cause the person to fall into an endless dream that he cannot get out of himself. They sleep for eternity or at least until their body dies on its own.

Nevertheless, I will have to try this strange powder one day. Maybe I'll find a use for it somewhere in the future during my future explorations.
