Whitefish River between two points

Sorry about the wait, I was debating what they should find and my brain decided SHINY QUARTZ in the stone.

Pacing a few more meters into the darkness, Mordecai rolled his shoulders in a shrug. “If there was something living back here, it's gone by now. Smells kinda like a bear, or maybe, I don't know, like a lynx.” It would make sense why it was largely vacant now, because Mordecai had yet to spot either creature roaming the countryside. He was certain that they existed, but luck had not brought him to encounter either. If anything, the opening into the ground may have just been a fissure of sorts, left behind during the last tumultuous event that shook the earth.

However, right as Mordecai began to turn back to look to Dante, something caught his eye in the dim light. He paused, and turned his head back the other direction. There was something there… something being caught by the light. “Hey, come here,” he called. “Do you see this? There's something shiny back here.” But what, he didn't know. Mordecai had never seen anything like it.
