Veinstone

In ancient times, the tribes of Numeria exported a type of mineral known as veinstone. This stone was a particularly popular building material in Ancient Osirion, and the Four Pharaohs of Ascension constructed their true pyramid of it. The Ancient Osirians valued veinstone as a semi-precious stone, while today it is merely an interesting type of rock.

Description

Veinstone only occurs naturally in Numeria and parts of the River Kingdoms. The dense, light-green rock rippled with dark-green fissures is as hard as granite.

Objects made of veinstone

• Azghaad's Spire in Sothis
• The Veinstone Pyramid in Osirion's Valley of the Pyramids
• The Veinstone Pendulum, a magical device in a hidden demiplane synchronized with the countdown clocks of Osirion
• The eye of the overwatched, a psychic magic item housed in Absalom's Blakros Museum

Mentions in literature

A chapter in Volume 67 of the Pathfinder Chronicles is called "The Veinstone Pyramid".
