A Tear Stone (ティアストーン, Tear Stone?) is the most basic forgeable item in Golden Sun: The Lost Age. It is described as a "Water essence crystal". It is found in various areas around when the Lemurian Ship is acquired and after, such as in Taopo Swamp, and it can also be dropped very rarely from a Gillman Lord in Treasure Isle (fell it with Mars Djinn to increase drop rate by four times). Being an Artifact, it can be sold and later repurchased. It can be bought for 300 coins and sold for 225 coins. It can be forged into the following items, all Mercury-based:

Analysis

The first forgeable material found in the game, the Tear Stone makes items which are strong compared to what came before getting the ship, but most will be replaced by the time you reach Lemuria. The items made from it, therefore, are little different from the rest of the items acquired early on. A notable exception, however, is made for the Spirit Ring - as it provides an endless font of healing for the entire party outside of combat, it is highly recommended that the player acquire one. This can be done as soon as Sunshine is available, if the player's first Tear Stone is used to make a Spirit Ring.
