The blue flash emitted by the gem buried in the ground was not unlike the color of Desmond's eyes, deep and seductive, with a hint of danger. Still, it was the electric buzz emitted by the gem that really caught Desmond's attention.
Desmond reached down and used his hands to brush away the rest of the rocks, revealing more of the buried gem. At first glance, it was obvious that the gemstone had been placed on purpose in the ground rather than being a natural occurrence. It didn't take a genius to deduce that it was the work of armored armadillos.
The notion that the beasts in this cave even knew how to hide their most valuable treasures by using other treasures was quite interesting to Desmond since the average human being wasn't necessarily that cunning.
