Caphorite is a crystalline mineral found throughout the darklands in lodes ranging from around a hundred pounds to several tons. It is also frequently called drowstone because of its association with the drow who frequently plant fungal farms and other plants near the ore as it seems to enhance the growth rate of their crops. It emits an strange orange-purple glow. Direct exposure to sunlight, whether natural or artificial, causes caphorite crystals to darken and dissolve into a sticky ash.
