“The petals are a light pinkish color, slightly translucent, and with a texture of smooth glass. Care must be taken when handling the petals, as their edges are razor sharp, and can easily slice through flesh if mishandled.
The wood and bark are a light grayish color, with a texture expected of wood, although the grain is very smooth to the touch. However, the petals and wood of these trees are much harder than most natural or man-made substances, reaching up to 5,000 Hb on the Brunel scale, and withstanding temperatures of up to 1800 degrees Celsius. The weight to strength ratio surpasses even that of titanium, being some 15% lighter than aluminum.
Despite this hardness, the wood and petals are quite supple, and are as pliable as most woods are. Both are notoriously difficult to work due to their properties, but under high temperatures, upwards of 1500 degrees Celsius, separate pieces are capable of being fused together. They make excellent armour, shielding, and weapons.
