An almond-shaped crystal with a translucent peach color. The bearer can reflexively change their gender at will, although they remain moderately recognizable, requiring an observer to succeed on a Perception + [highest of Awareness or Larceny] roll to recognize the bearer in their switched gender when seeing them for the first time (add +2 to the difficulty if the observer has never seen the bearer in their original gender either).

Should a bearer who is with child attempt to switch genders from female to male, the dissapearance of the womb is immediately fatal to the child, though it remains within the body of the bearer and is likely to cause severe complications. The laws of the Realm are explicit in banning even this painful method of abortion.

The Stone of Gender Transformation is valued by some in the Realm for its utility in furthering breeding programs, and for its ability to alter the gender alignment of the bearer's essence, one approach to self-perfection and enlightenment.
