Description and Specifications
Over the years due to artists’ interpretations of the gem its appearance has varied. It has been shown in different shapes (Including spherical, flat, six-cornered and oval) and sizes (From as small as a softball to as large as a basketball). Even the name of it has changed from writer to writer (Including Ruby of Cyttorak, Gem of Cyttorak, Crimson Crystal of Cyttorak and a number of other slight variants). The only thing that remained throughout was that it glowed red and possessed the now famous inscription "Whosoever touches this gem shall possess the power of the Crimson Bands of Cyttorak! Henceforth, you who read these words, shall become forevermore a human juggernaut!"
The stone itself gives a fraction of the power of Cyttorak to whoever possesses it via acting as a portal to or containing a portal within it to the Crimson Cosmos.

Famous quotes containing the word description:
“The great object in life is Sensation—to feel that we exist, even though in pain; it is this “craving void” which drives us to gaming, to battle, to travel, to intemperate but keenly felt pursuits of every description whose principal attraction is the agitation inseparable from their accomplishment.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
