I could hardly resist its alchemical lure and abstruse shape. The objects had something of a filamentary geology that I began to tease apart in hundreds of individual strands, unearthing with my fingers their fine threads as they followed deeper into their core. On a closer look, I believe these objects were crafted traces of the slow moving unquenchable mineral you last wrote me about.
