Valvurite

Valvurite is a fictional mineral that appears in the tabletop role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons. It is primarily known for its luminous properties, emitting a soft, ethereal glow when exposed to moonlight. This characteristic makes it a valuable resource for certain subterranean creatures and for alchemists seeking to create potions of light or illumination.

In terms of its physical properties, valvurite is often described as being translucent and crystalline, with shades of pale blue, green, or white. It is relatively soft, making it easy to carve or shape, though it is also brittle and can fracture easily. Deposits of valvurite are typically found deep within caves and underground caverns, often in areas with a strong connection to lunar magic or where rare celestial phenomena have occurred.

The lore surrounding valvurite suggests it is imbued with residual magical energy, which accounts for its luminescence. Some legends claim that valvurite can absorb and store moonlight, releasing it slowly over time. This property has led to its use in creating enchanted items, particularly those designed for exploration in dark environments. While not a common material in general crafting, its unique attributes make it sought after by those with specialized needs or a fascination with the arcane. Its rarity and specific environmental requirements contribute to its mystique within the game's world.
