DESCRIPTION

This yellow quartz pyramid is about an inch and a half across.

EFFECTS

When stored in any sort of container or enclosure with perishable foodstuffs up to 7 cubic feet in volume, the preserver’s pyramid keeps them fresh indefinitely.

If placed against a fresh corpse, it adheres gently and begins to darken, keeping the corpse preserved for up to seven days as per gentle repose. Once the seven days have elapsed, the pyramid turns black and crumbles to dust. If removed before this time, the stone remains darker in color, and can be used again, until all seven days have been used in this manner. The pyramid can preserve food indefinitely until destroyed.
