| '''Firemarbles''' were the primary source of light for [[D'ni (race)|D'ni]] lamps. They are a special form of stone which glows when scratched or struck. The appear to contain a significant amount of energy which is slowly released over time in the form of a soft light. Firemarbles vary in size from typical marble-sized spheres to massive globes several feet in diameter. They are extinguished when doused with water. Firemarbles can be found throughout [[D'ni]] and its [[Age]]s. They come in many different colors and degrees of brightness.
| | It would appear that firemarbles to pose a fire hazard if they impact an object with sufficient force to cause them to shatter. This is evidenced by the fire in [[Tomahna]] sparked by a firemarble thrown by [[Saavedro]], which shattered, setting a nearby curtain aflame. However, it should also be noted that the power output of detonated firemarbles likely pales in comparison to the power output of detonated [[powermarble]]s. |

| It appears that firemarbles can pose a fire hazard if they strike an object with enough force to shatter. This is evidenced by the fire in [[Tomahna]] which was started when [[Saavedro]] threw a firemarble at a nearby curtain.
