Hypergems, incredibly scarce and precious aperiodic diamondoids, originated within the hearts of neutron stars.
The crystalline planar structures of Hypergems stretched into dimensions beyond the familiar three. For a brain accustomed to perceiving only three spatial dimensions and one time dimension, trying to comprehend this multidimensional lattice could drive certain species mad. Conversely, others perceived the gem as an unparalleled beauty, leading them to neglect their basic needs and starve while captivated by its sight. It was known that the Falleen possessed a resistance to the majority of the mental influences exerted by the hypergem. It was even said that Prince Xizor would intentionally gaze at a hypergem, only to forcefully break away from its allure as a test of his own mental fortitude.
