Description
The shard is a brilliant green, and although solid, what looks like smoke swirls just below the surface. You can't help staring into the depths of the crystal; at the same time, you know there is something very disturbing about it.
Maybe you should see if anyone in Ratchet can tell you more about this strange shard.
