Amethyst

You tear at the meat hungrily, regardless of the absence of silverware or napkins. Meanwhile, Hyri is inspecting your necklace carefully, turning it in his lithe fingers and looking at it from every angle. Suddenly he drops it into the fire. You let out a sharp cry. "Hyri!"
He laughs at your distress. "Relax." Picking up the discarded stick from your meal, he fishes it out of the white-hot embers of the fire and tosses it to you. You cringe, expecting to be burned by the hot metal, but the stone feels as cool as ever in your fingers. You look back at Hyri with wide eyes, waiting for an explanation.
"A test," he explains, taking it back from you. He swings it around a few times, then bashes it against a hard rock with surprising force. The rock shatters, the necklace remains completely unharmed. "See? Indestructible. You have a magic talisman there, my friend. A powerful one from the looks of it, and if your tale is true, which I don't doubt."
