(Created page with "{{wikipediainfo}}'''Shining Trapezohedra''' were eldritch stones of interest in at least one reality. At least one of them appeared as a “small oddly-angled stone — nearly black, with red striations, which seemed to have a faint but eerie light from within”.

The Shining Trapezohedron, originally conceived of as a unique artefact, originated in H. P. Lovecraft's short story ''[[w:c:lovecraft:The Haunter in the Dark|The Haunter in the Dark]]''. In the author's comments for ''[[Who Laws the Lawyers? (short story)|Who Laws the Lawyers?]]'', [[Delilah H.
