"Wow... look at all of those... such a nice color too; a rich, oceanic blue. And the mana! Oh, the mana is quite potent too, isn't it? How did you sense these, Anput? There wasn't much leakage from the rock, and yet..."
Belian placed the rough chunk of blue stone back into Anput's hands, allowing it to join the dozens of other chunks that she had excavated from the boulder; the largest was around three inches long and an inch and a half thick, with some of the boulder still clinging desperately to its treasures and making it difficult to tell the exact dimensions and shape of the gemstone, but we could be certain that this was a BIG rock that was going to be worth quite a bit.
