Schist is a metamorphic stone. It contains a wide variety of gems.


In real life[edit]

Schist is a large class of metamorphic rock defined by its texture or 'schistosity'; the rock is foliated in such a way that it can split into small flakes. It is often host to metamorphic gemstones such as garnet, emerald, and ruby.

Don't believe everything you read, and if you miss some of the references, don't worry. It was inevitable.


'Schistosity' is a dwarven term for the mineral-like attractiveness of another dwarf. Example, "Urist rolled a high schistosity score on his stone die."

Schist is not to be confused with filth, nor can you make bricks out of it; as the product of a stonecutter is properly called a block.
