Serite

Indrol cast a glance at Conwena, who cleared her throat and addressed SCRAM-6.‘How long ye figure t’dome’d be up’n at em, eh Sticks?’The golem took barely a moment to process the command, at this point used to Conwena’s strong Turmish accent. It replied in its emotionless voice, ‘By my calculations, the dome should return to full capacity within six to eight hours of the power source’s activation.’ Conwena grunted approvingly as the group continued on through the empty, sand-covered streets. ‘Can’t be faster, can it?’ Indrol asked Conwena, only to be met with a shake of the head.‘Nay, lass. T’serite’s fiddly as is, ‘specially a source o’t’size.’ Indrol returned this somewhat intelligible answer with a slow exhale and a nod.- Indrol and Trenwith discuss the limitations of New Amkhemar's Serite dome.
Serite, also known as Thaystone was a naturally occuring silver-purple crystalline mineral. It occurred in large quantities in the straits of Gildegra, and was mined heavily in the kingdom of Thay. It was in huge demand across the world amongst higher magic societies. It was also recently found in large quantities beneath the disputed Vola Bereg between Bey and Volenya.
The mystics of Thay used it to project powerful defensive energy fields relative to the size of the crystal. This was its main use - projection of energy fields, as well as powering powerful spells, especially abjurations, conjurations and transmutations. This, in tandem with charging via electricity, allowed the crystals to function as a primary power source. 
Serite crystals powered the domes of the Thayan Outer World Expeditionary Range's colonies, like New Amkhemar.
