Saxstone

Saxstone is a type of piezoelectric crystal notable for its bright blue hue. The stone was mined in several locations such as deserts and processed in a single refinery, the Bluestone refinery. The refinery also researched mining techniques such as industrial robotics and sand mining windblowers. 
The mining of the Saxstone was supposed to diversify the energy sources of the empire away from the hazardous lava steam, which was dependent on a volcanoes activity. 
== Usage ==
The advantage of the Saxstone was that once an initial percussion was made, the energy output was self sustaining until struck again. 
The Dalmer made use of these piezoelectric crystals in just about everything, even for door opening mechanisms. This required the dalmer carry around ballistic instruments (slingshots, guns, and crossbows mostly), as well as blunt objects in order to activate the crystals.
