Vulcan's Glory was the name given to an artifact dating back many thousands of years prior to the Vulcan Reformation. The Glory was a large emerald roughly the size of a cantaloupe, measuring at 22,890.4 carats, uncut but reputed to be almost flawless. It was said that the gem remained uncut because it was the heart of those who held it, and later of all Vulcan; it was felt that it held the spirit of its holders just as it was, and to cut it would have been unthinkable.
