Space stones!
Holy Crud!
Althea belatedly remembered the shock amongst the orcs, though she was touched that they consciously didn't bother her.
"Sorry," she said. "I think I found something useful. For those with sensitive eyes, please close your eyes."
She lit up the flashlight again, and she went closer to the stone. Space Stones, in general, came in pebble form. The sizes might vary a bit, but they were all essentially pebbles.
To describe what a space stone deposit looked like, it was like a rough mortar wall with the intermittent pebble buried on it. It looked like it was stuck very well.
She asked someone to hold the light, and she tried to dig through it.
Clank!
She realized that the rock around the space stones was extremely hard, practically metal itself. This wasn't too surprising. Forming something so magical like a Space Stone was bound to change the composition of things in contact with it for a long time.
For example, turning rock into metal.
