Metallic Hexagon

Item

Image
Description	Although simple enough in shape, this six-sided tile is made out of a metal you don't recognize. It's surprisingly flexible, but difficult to leave a mark on. It has a shine, but feels almost velvety to the touch. In all, it feels luxurious. Perhaps they should consider making gold medals out of this instead.

Sources

Using Oldtown present (depending how many skills/depth you acquired for Oldtown reset). Kinak says "I hope you like puzzles. Your present is full of puzzles."
