I would describe them as a facetted, colorless, transparent
jewel, resembling glass, but with a higher degree of light refraction.
That's for the visual description. For the tactile description, I would
describe it as a facetted, cone-shaped stone with sharp edges. The fact
that the pointed end of the cone is usually the botton is
inconsequential, unless the stone is prised from it's jewelry setting.
I have no idea as to what kind of sound they make when dropped on a hard
surface, whether ringing, clicking, or thumping in nature, but I would
assume they clicked rather than rang.
