UNC-SPE-068
Catalogued within Victorian Era recovery records this crystalline specimen was recovered from a submerged devotional chamber concealed beneath flooded catacombs used during epidemic-era mourning observances. Suspended within an ornate silver frame resembling woven lacework the crystal possesses the unmistakable form of a falling tear preserved in mineral form. Internal refraction remains unusually complex displaying layered structures that appear inconsistent across observation sessions despite no measurable physical alteration occurring within the specimen. Recovery teams documented flooded prayer alcoves collapsed memorial chambers extinguished candles and devotional basins positioned throughout the shrine where the Tear rested beneath a partially collapsed stone arch. Several surviving inscriptions refer to "the tear that never dried" and describe vigils held beneath the city in which mourners gathered around luminous crystalline relics believed to preserve remembrance beyond death. Moisture accumulation continues forming beneath containment surfaces despite stable environmental controls and no detectable source of evaporation or leakage. Light passing through the crystal occasionally produces transient visual phenomena reported as fragmented memories devotional scenes or emotionally significant imagery. The relationship between these observations and the specimen's optical properties remains unresolved.


DETAILS
Handling and Restrictions:
Avoid thermal fluctuation. Extended direct sunlight observation requires documentation.

Keeper Notes:
Suitable for experienced Keepers comfortable with devotional and emotionally resonant artifacts. No hostile behavior documented.
Crystallised Tear
Access Level:
Active Observation
Period:
Victorian Era
Recovery Location
Recovered from a flooded devotional shrine beneath Victorian catacombs.
Condition:
Excellent preservation with stable crystalline clarity and minimal silver corrosion.
Notable Characteristics
Condensation forms beneath containment despite dry environmental conditions. Internal refractive structures appear inconsistent between observation records. Emotional responses frequently reported during prolonged examination.
Clio Observation
Clio routinely watches moisture trails forming beneath containment and remains calm during observation periods.
Muninn Observation
Muninn tracks reflected light projections and arranges metallic fragments around containment displays during active examinations.
