"These little Crystals have been so outstanding to the general nature of the world, its a shame they are so... Uncerminiously located." — Uscon Mining Representitive
Lazurite Khadrine will have you believe it is a cool to the touch, solid as diamonds, and probably containing some sort of mana expunge. Lazurite Khadrine, or Laz Khad for short, is the raw ingrident needed to create advanced technologies, and is a highly saught after material within the world of Ammeriam. But no normal forge can heat up the Laz Khad to truly mold it into the shape it needs. In the Uscon, this is done through melting and tossing tons of scrap Laz Khad to the fuel production lines. At the end of the entire process they create CrystalTek. However, within Kliyax they refine it by using mages to carefully take the pieces they need, and extract the magical essence, creating Kryo.
It is said there is needed over 13k pounds of Laz Khad to create a single pound of technology useable material. Why is this? Well, there are special, delicate formations within each Laz Khad that need to be extracted through something called 'Weave Binding' which is essentially slowly sawing the Laz Khad with manipulateable Weave portals, or very careful hyper waterpressure.
Laz Khad is almost exclusively located in two locations. While many will tell you the Paladin Wars are over the Dhedes and the Sairin, educated scholars claim to know better, and claim that many paladin orders are commissioned to be hunters and gatherers of these rocks, citing several sources. The second place is Ska'Renia, where the Uscon pays top dollar to conquer this ancient landscape, and decimate its resources, aiming for the rich pockets of Laz Khad that are just under the surface.
Laz Khad does not naturally form in the Underbelly of the World, and only forms naturally roughly two to three miles under surface level, with some veins getting pushed by sun crystal roots to be closer to the surface.
