Also known as "divine tears", ultraglobulites are a rare type of perfectly spherical crystals only found in Gol Algor. They approach diamond in their hardness, and even when they are somehow shattered they fracture into numerous smaller spheres instead of irregular shards, a process that continues to the microscopic scale. Their unique properties make ultraglobulites ideal for binding extraplanar entities into them (as these entities find no "weak points" on the surface of the crystal through which they could escape), and this is indeed the main reason why they command such high prices, although they are also used as ball bearings for some of the most advanced feats of modern engineering.
