Red Flower Agate

Red Flower Agate known among alchemists as "the Coagulated Sunset," is a translucent gem formed from crimson resin harvested from enchanted swamps and tempered under seven lunar cycles. Within its depths flow streams of liquid fire that never solidify, revealing vein-like networks under specific light conditions.

This gem requires resin collection during a double-star solar transit, with the solidification ritual completed on the night of wolfsbane blossoming. The finished stone emanates a constant warm cinnamon fragrance, automatically heating to precise therapeutic temperatures when the wearer is injured. When set in a silver serpent mount, it can transform three drops of morning dew into a styptic elixir during full moons.

Storage demands a heptagonal oakwood box, with monthly cleansing required using elderflower dew under the full moon. If left unused through seven consecutive blood moon cycles, feather-shaped healing runes will crystallize inside—these can be crushed in emergencies to release an area healing field.
