Description and lore

Heartbeat Crystal

A heartbeat crystal is set within an emergency protective fitting.

Lore and observations

The crystal's compact form suits a close, personal object carried near clothing or gear. A carefully secured mount makes that intention clear.

The fitting's place among ordinary travel equipment gives protection a human scale. Worn edges can show that someone has chosen to keep it close.
