L'Cie Stone

l'Cie Stones are shards of l'Cie in crystal stasis in Final Fantasy Type-0. Such shards are found all around Orience. Many view it an honor to be able to hold one. Contained within these crystals are the final thoughts of the crystallized l'Cie. If the Class Zero cadets deliver the gems to Atra in Iscah, he will interpret these last words in exchange of the crystal. Afterward, the l'Cie's final thoughts are added to the Rubicus in the Historical Personae section.
l'Cie Stones are often rewarded for doing sidequests in towns once they have been liberated. Some are also found lying around in various locations. Once a l'Cie Stone has been collected, it does not appear again on consecutive playthroughs. Instead, it will be replaced by a Megalixir.

==Etymology and symbolism==
The l'Cie Stones are known as "pyroxene" in Japanese. 
Due to l'Cie stones forming upon a l'Cie's stasis, they are likely fragments containing an essence of their being, hence their alluded similarities to the classical idea of "fire strangers". In this sense, they are similar to eidoliths from Final Fantasy XIII.
 are spiritual relics of Buddhist nature, which are the crystallized remains of s found after cremation, and made existent after the passing of Buddha. It is believed that they embody the spiritual knowledge, teachings, realizations, or living essence of spiritual masters prior, and are taken as evidence of the masters' enlightenment and spiritual purity.
