Heartseed of the Ancestor Grove

This tiny crystal resembles a seed no larger than a thumbnail, yet it is impossibly dense and warm to the touch. Within its heart, pale green light turns like sap in spring, and hair-thin roots of living silver curl around its surface. When held, it emits the scent of rain on fresh bark and old moss. In darkness, faint leaf-veins glow beneath its facets, as if a forest sleeps inside it. The seed-crystal is the last viable kernel of a vanished grove, designed to awaken magic wherever it is planted and cherished.
