Blood Gem

Wondrous item, rare

The blood gem is a sparkling ruby that one might appraise to be worth 1000 gold or more. When it comes into your possession, it cannot be sold or traded, and other creatures view it as a worthless rock.

Curse. You cannot be rid of this stone, and attempts to leave it or throw it away are futile; it always reappears on your person. Any time you come into contact with coins or gems, you begin to weep blood for 1d4 minutes. The curse ends if you are subject to a remove curse spell, or if you forsake your worldly possessions and live a life of austerity for a year and a day. In either case, the ruby crumbles to dust, perhaps reforming in some other location.
