The Veiled Crystal is a medium-sized, translucent gem with a deep violet hue, emitting a faint, pulsating glow. Its surface is smooth and polished, with intricate, glowing runes etched into its facets that seem to shift when viewed from different angles. The crystal is encased in a delicate, ornate metal frame that appears to be made of darkened silver, with fine, swirling patterns that complement the gem's mystical aura.
