== Perfect Gemstones ==
'''Perfect gemstones''' occur when one of the Polestones forms without any flaws or imperfections which allows them to hold light indefinitely.{{book ref|sa3|i|13}} The money exchangers living in major cities of [[Shadesmar]] use perfect stones to store the Stormlight they use for currency.{{book ref|sa3|99}} The [[King's Drop]] is a perfect gemstone that has been held in the [[Thaylen Gemstone Reserve]] for over two hundred years without being renewed or losing Stormlight.{{book ref|sa3|i|13}} In addition to not leaking, a perfect gemstone can hold far more Stormlight than a normal gemstone of the same size could.{{book ref|sa4|87}} The [[Elsecallers]] were tasked with protecting perfect gems, including a ruby named [[Honor's Drop]].{{epigraph ref|sa3|83}} The [[honorspren]] have gathered many perfect gemstones in their stronghold [[Lasting Integrity]].{{book ref|sa4|87}} [[Jasnah Kholin]] believes that there are far fewer perfect gemstones around in the Physical Realm than there should be, suggesting that someone may have been gathering them up before their value was more widely known;{{book ref|sa4|29}} possibly the [[Ghostbloods]] as they are experimenting with transporting Stormlight off-world.{{book ref|sa4|13}}
Perfect gemstones have the capacity to hold [[Cognitive Shadow]]s in addition to spren, the latter of which they have a far larger capacity than normal gemstones--they can hold [[Herald]]s, the [[Unmade]], and even [[Fused]].{{book ref|sa3|120}}{{book ref|sa3|121}}{{cite|that one chapter in RoW where Raboniel arrives}}
