The treasury is a well-kept room with every movement of coins and valuables documented in the ledger. But a glint on the floor catches your eye. There on the floor, wedged between the gold bars stacked under the tables of yet more gold bars, is a beautiful gemstone. Perhaps Master Arasemis dropped it among others he was handling.
You stoop to pick it up, marveling at the colors fluttering across the facets. It is some kind of crystal, but you don't know what it is.
At first you move to place it on a table, so that Arasemis can reclaim it. But you consider that moving it to an obvious location would raise his suspicions that someone had entered his vault.
You restore the gem where you found it on the floor.
