I appreciate your concern, but... it's something made up of several very personal items I'd rather not explain right now. The closest I can come is a gemstone or a special rock. [ a tribal sort of stone, really, but that's a little more detail than he wants to give about something he's only ever shown one person in his whole life.

he appreciates the reassurance, though, vulcan or not. ]

At this point, I might be better off trying to build a new one.
