Yumethyst

Yumethyst is a special type of quartz found on the island. A very rare type of crystal with special properties. The crystal itself tends to come already transparent and usually a very light amber or yellow color. The tips or ends of the crystal though are usually a different, darker or more solid color; most common are reds and browns, but a variety of colors exist like pink, green, blue, etc. Yumethyst doesn't have a specific location where it can be found exactly, meaning it can be found anywhere on the island. It does though have a unique, magical property to it. Yumethyst is formed from powerful dreams. No one is exactly sure how, but the simplest theory is due to the magical nature of the island, if a person's dreams are strong enough the magic reacts to that and through the earth forms the yumethyst. The dreams that form yumethyst aren't generally from people sleeping, but more closely to one's hopes or desires, those kind of dreams. Most yumethyst are formed on a solitary basis, as a dream is usually something personal and individual. Often times the crystal will appear from ground by the person with the dream though not everyone realizes it so quite often the crystal is left. Some yumethyst though comes from collective dreams if they're strong and focused enough. Usually this type of yumethyst appears in clumps or groups of the crystal. In all cases though, the stronger the dream the more likely it'll cause a yumethyst crystal to grow. The rarity of discovering yumethyst makes it hard to study, but some believe that if the crystals are left in the ground they still share a link with the dreamer and it's possible for them to grow as long as the dreamer holds onto that dream. But there hasn't been any concrete evidence to support this theory. Yumethyst usually is only a couple inches long, about the length of a finger or a little more and usually only about an inch and a half to two inches thick but not always the case.

The best way to distinguish yumethyst from other crystals is by simple touch. Once touched, the crystal will take on a kind of milky look. Also, the person holding it will feel the dream that formed the yumethyst. This works the best and easiest for the dreamer, seeing as it's their dream. The stronger the dream the clearer the experience of it is when the crystal is touched. Mostly it comes in the form of feelings associated with the dream as well as memories, the stronger the more clearer the memories are. There's only a handful of known cases where even a partial vision occurred, so generally it's simply feelings and memories. People who weren't the dreamer can experience the dream as well but it's less clear, usually just emotions and a vague feeling of what the dream was about. Those who have yumethyst tend to be protective of it, given it's revealing nature. Sometimes they'll put it on a chain as a necklace, but most often they just keep it in a safe place to be brought out when needed.
