Metrialon

Metrialon is a violet, diamond-shaped gemstone of unknown composition that is said to imbue anyone who embeds it on their throat with the ability to understand and speak any language as a native speaker. However, it has a grave cost; Metrialon's bearer will also comprehend the precise intentions of whatever they hear. Urban legends focused around Metrialon tend to whisper of how it drove people to betraying their loved ones or brought them to despair as they learned just what everyone thought of them. It is impossible to remove Metrialon except by clawing it out, which also destroys the vocal cords of Metrialon's now-victim and renders them utterly mute.
The origins of Metrialon usually point to it being from Beyne, often said to have been mined from somewhere in God's Land or found in a lost desert ruin.
