Lore[]

Looking over the armor's design, the crystals we thought were from Purple Gate area are actually of mix of real and false minerals. Neither one of us are sure why both would be used. Is there a tipping point with too many true ones? Do the false ones not hold their sharpness enough? The Curator is eager to know why.
