Miscellaneous6

A complete artisan's kit: files, loupe, tongs, tiny hammers, adhesives and polishing cloths in a well-made leather roll. Zahra's set has been tuned to work on delicate mercurial gems.

Grants advantage on checks to appraise or craft jewelry when used by a proficient artisan.

A pouch of fine powders, oils, and cloths for keeping cut gemstones bright.

A smoky-lilac crystal battered by desert winds but rich in color — fine for small rings or inlay work.

A deep, glassy purple stone favored by mystics and caravaneers. Beautiful on a signet or as a centerpiece.

Holds faint traces of ambient magic; a ritual caster can attempt to attune minor stored cantrips (DM adjudicates).

Thin, pure gold wire used for filigree and fine settings.

Small chunks of gold suitable for melting and casting. Zahra grades them; select pieces are more pure.

Weapons1

A lightweight dagger with a razor-sharp obsidian blade set into a gold-lined hilt. Primarily decorative but quite deadly.

The obsidian deals a +1 to critical threat on creatures susceptible to brittle fractures (DM call).
Miscellaneous1

A slim gold ring with a faceted amethyst. While wearing, grants a subtle psychic shield.

Grants advantage on saves against being charmed and bonus to AC against magic missile effects (1 attunement).
Miscellaneous4

A delicate circlet of hammered gold set with three small purple mercurial soul gems. When worn, the desert's mirage feels less disorienting.

Wearer can cast silent image once per long rest. While in desert/sand conditions, the wearer gains +2 to Survival checks and has advantage on checks to avoid getting lost.

A coiled bracelet of gold and matte obsidian shaped like a sleeping snake. Its eyes are tiny amethysts that gleam faintly.

AC +1Grants resistance to fire once per day for up to 1 minute (activated as a bonus action). Additionally, wearer gains bonus to Dexterity checks involving sleight or balance while worn.

A pendant carved from a single flawless amethyst on a woven gold chain. It calms the wearer in the heat of the desert — and in their mind.

Once per long rest as a reaction to being frightened, the wearer may end the frightened condition on themselves. Additionally grants +2 on saving throws versus being put to sleep or charmed.

A heavy gold ring set with a sliver of obsidian floating inside a tiny seam of purple liquid. The ring has a faint pulse when held against the ear.

Once per long rest, the wearer can use an action to gain insight into a creature they can touch: learn one secret truth (surface-level memory or a single emotion) about the creature as if using detect thoughts for 1 minute (no saving throw if target is willing; hostile creatures may resist—DM decides).
Miscellaneous1

A small palm-sized gem that appears to hold liquid purple mercury within. Zahra refuses to describe what was in it once, but she accepts careful trade-ins.

Functions as a 1-charge spell reservoir: can store one leveled spell (up to 3rd level) cast into it by a caster. The stored spell can be released by any creature who holds the gem as an action (save DC equals caster's spell save or uses stored spell attack). Once used, the gem becomes inert and must be recharged by a spellcaster. Additionally, the gem hums faintly in the presence of undead.
Miscellaneous2

Labor to set a small or moderate stone into a pre-made ring. Includes cleaning and basic engraving.

Bespoke setting carved from gold and set with multiple stones, sized to the client. Price depends on materials and enchantments.

Can incorporate a single minor enchantment at extra cost (DM to adjudicate magic work).
Miscellaneous1

A thin, polished amethyst disk set in an iron circlet to be worn like a monocle. Wizards and sorcerers use it as a focus.

Functions as a spellcasting focus. Once per short rest, when casting a divination or illusion spell, the caster gains +1 to any spell attack roll or to one spell save DC for that casting.
Miscellaneous1

A black glass mirror trimmed in gold. When polished and used at dawn, it shows brief reflections of distant dunes.

Once per day, the user may cast augury (as the spell) focused on travel safety within 24 hours when the mirror is consulted at sunrise or sunset.

Shop Atmosphere

The shop is a low, sun-baked tent lined with purple silk and trays of polished gems. Sand drifts occasionally across the woven rugs; incense of frankincense and a subtle metallic tang from the mercurial gems hangs in the air. Zahra speaks in soft measured tones, often offering tea sweetened with dates while she weighs stones. She refuses to sell purple mercurial soul gems to those who won't produce references or a reputable spellcaster to demonstrate intended use. She hums an old caravan tune when nervous and marks favored customers with a tiny amethyst bead threaded into their purchases for future discounts.
