Star crystals are found in clusters within starmetal mines, and are a type of Elemental Crystal. Star crystal clusters contain: A star crystal can be shaved into sheets, a minimum of 1/4" thick. These sheets are a little harder (+2 hardness) and stronger (+10 hp) than a comparable sheet of glass, but weigh twice as much. In this form, the sheet can absorb sunlight and re-emit in when dark. A two square foot sheet is as bright as a candle and retains its glow for 1 hour. A sheet 8 square feet in area is as bright as a torch and retains its glow for 4 hours. Shaving the crystals results in a "stained glass" look. These sheets are worth 40 gp per square foot, and require Craft(Glazier/Jeweler) DC 15 to make.

abstract	Star crystals are found in clusters within starmetal mines, and are a type of Elemental Crystal. Star crystal clusters contain: A star crystal can be shaved into sheets, a minimum of 1/4" thick. These sheets are a little harder (+2 hardness) and stronger (+10 hp) than a comparable sheet of glass, but weigh twice as much. In this form, the sheet can absorb sunlight and re-emit in when dark. A two square foot sheet is as bright as a candle and retains its glow for 1 hour. A sheet 8 square feet in area is as bright as a torch and retains its glow for 4 hours. Shaving the crystals results in a "stained glass" look. These sheets are worth 40 gp per square foot, and require Craft(Glazier/Jeweler) DC 15 to make. A 1 unit crystal is approximately 3/4" in diameter, and 8 inches long. Each additional "unit" increases this volume by a like amount. Unit crystals can also absorb sunlight. A 1 unit crystal is 1/2 as bright as a candle, and retains its glow for 2 hours. Unit crystals may also be charged with spirit or mind energy. When fully charged with spirit energy, the crystals function as grenades that inflict 1d6 positive energy damage per unit in a 5' radius. The radius increases by 5 feet for each additional 2d6 of damage (so a 5 unit crystal has a 15' radius). This damage is doubled against extraplanar shadow creatures and the undead. When fully charged with mind energy, the crystals function as cognizance crystals (from the XPH). Unit crystals are worth as much as the equivalent cognizance crystal; however, to an uniformed public, the crystals are worth 50 gp per unit. Unit crystals cannot be melted, recombined, or split - a 5 unit crystal cannot become a 2 unit and a 3 unit crystal, for instance. Crystals can be slightly reshaped for ease in packing and carrying; reshaping a crystal is a Craft(Jeweler) DC 20 task. The Bloodstar Mine produces approximately 1000 (900+10d20) crystals per year. 20% of that is typically suitable for sheets, and is worth (on average) 16,000 gp a year. When selling the unit crystals to an uninformed public, their aggregate average value is 33,750 gp a year. Once their true nature becomes public knowledge, that will change to 2,567,500 gp a year. Unit crystals are a potentially strategic resource for any nation or organization that makes widespread use of psionics in its troops. Widespread availability is likely to destabilize the Three-Army Pass region.
