Lerasium is notable as it is the condensed power of the [[Shard]] [[Preservation]]. The only known source were beads found at the Well of Ascension. Presumably, the name "lerasium" is inherited from [[Leras]], the name of the original holder of the Shard Preservation, just as the name [[atium]] is inherited from [[Ati]], the original holder of the Shard [[Ruin]]. Lerasium cannot be combined with atium to make [[harmonium]], nor can harmonium be broken down into lerasium and atium by normal, mechanical means.{{book ref|mb7|13}}{{book ref|mb7|15}}{{wob ref|12145}} However, lerasium and atium can be divided from harmonium through supernatural methods.{{book ref|mb7|71}}

While it would not be possible to get lerasium and atium from harmonium through distillation or other mundane methods, through some supernatural means it may be achievable.{{wob ref|12145}}

However, neither of these beads were used prior to the fall of the Final Empire. One bead was fed to [[Elend]] to save his life after being attacked by Leras, whose hand was directed by [[Kelsier]], in an attempt to prevent Vin from releasing Ruin from the Well.{{book ref|mb2|58}}{{book ref|mb2|59}}{{msh ref|2|4}} The other was stolen and consumed by [[Hoid]], after he used the Well to transition from the Cognitive Realm to the Physical.{{wob ref|12210}}{{msh ref|2|1}}

Wax has been able to split Harmonium using Trelluim to create more Lerasuim.
 
[[Waxillium_Ladrian|Wax]] was later able to split ettmetal using [[trellium]] to create more lerasium, which was later used by Wax and [[Wayne]], creating the first known Mistborns since the [[Spook|Lord Mistborn]] right after the [[Catacendre]].{{book ref|mb7|71}} [[Kelsier]] wishes to use it to create an army of Mistborn to fight against the armies of [[Autonomy]], though Harmony rejects these plans.{{book ref|mb7|epilogue|4}}
