Chapter 0111: Gemstones, Crystals, and Magic Jade

The last two chests were not filled with books.

To Liszt's surprise, one chest contained a variety of jades, the other various crystals, "Jades and crystals, the value of these two chests, will definitely not be lower than that of the mithril ores!"

He picked up a milky white jade.

The regret of the vanished books was somewhat diminished.

Jades and crystals can be considered types of gemstones. However, their origins are entirely different. Jade comes from the earth and, like saltpeter and sulfur, is a naturally formed mineral. Crystals, on the other hand, originate from dragons. They are associated mineral stones produced alongside a dragon's gemstones.

Dragons can produce gemstones, and gemstones possess extraordinary magic power.

But gem mines are rare, and more common are the associated crystal mines surrounding the gemstones—the topaz is accompanied by yellow crystals, the ruby by red crystals.
