What use do you think the opal/iridescent gem will have?

As said in the title, what use do you think the opal will have?

I kinda doubt there's any plans for it, considering you have to go through an event and deconstruct it.

[cantdeletethis]

i guess something powerful staff or very useful amulet made from moon crafting table

maybe a staff that can manage moon phases

[Viktor234]

Decoration.

[Lammarr]

I use them for some really expensive viking funerals for my beefalos/other slaves when they die.

Probably in one of the Return of Them updates in the future. I would imagine that specific update to deal with more technical crafting recipes being added into the game using moon & ocean stuff.

[Zeklo]

I don't think it would be used for this but a Lighthouse would be neat.

[trinket_4]

It will be able to create rainbows

[maradyne]

Honestly? Probably nothing outside of mod content. Seems like the segment of the playerbase that gets that far in the game is too small.

Feed it to hatches to get refined moon gems.

Yes I know what I'm saying...that's the joke.

They said that they considered using it for the Celestial Portal during that dev stream, but decided that they would use it for something special instead.

its kinda special: its the only gem which doesnt shatter when the item its used in gets deconstructed

[Datanon]

we could get an opal amulet, since its the only gem that doesnt have one. it triggers the effects of total sanity (you can probably see where im going with this)

Wear the bone helm and the amulet at the same time and become one with the universe.

isn't that what the nightmare amulet does?

[Well-met]

getting an opal is quite the hassle especially when the moon stand-off goes wrong (also known as not-cheesed), i'd say it should be a little better than purple gem tier.

Yeah ! This item is kinda helpful for modders to provide strong items for players that survived enough to collect this ressource, I've previously used it in my mod The Moon Amulet that give every character a unique power during Fullmoon (yeah it's gonna be updated for Warly & Wurt stop asking)

[themightyone]

Seems to me it should make an endothermic furnace , like a regular furnace , its always on and keeps a small area around it cold. I think it should cost 1 dragon scale , 20 ice , 1 Iridescent gem. 

[shadowDigga]

Socketing 3 opal gems instead of purple ones into telelocator focus for infinite uses.

[Nolgore]

It should be a worthy reward, so I think it should be a bot that gives increasingly incorrect directions to base whenever someone asks in chat.
