Some types of stone, after they have been exposed to the chemical oceans on Akimu (Dagudashaag 0106) gain a shimmering, iridescent quality that has made them popular as a building material. The iridescence gradually fades unless the rock is carefully prepared and the way the stone is ‘fixed’ is a closely guarded secret. Quarrying the correct stone, which only occurs on Akimu, is dangerous and time consuming and the exorbitant prices charged for the finished product reflect this. Nonetheless Shimmerstone is highly sought after for up-market building projects throughout the Domain.
