Amethyst Aegis

From Guild Wars Wiki

Amethyst Aegis
Type	Shield
Campaign(s)	Eye of the North
Attribute(s)	Command Motivation Tactics

The Amethyst Aegis is a rare type of shield. The body of the shield appears to be made entirely of one giant, cut, crystal of Amethyst, the facets of which appear to sparkle when it is rotated. This is capped with decorative golden metal at the corners of the shield and at the centre of the front of the shield.

[edit] Dye

The entire crystal is tinted by dye but not the golden metallic regions. It will dye to an inverse of the color applied (with the exception of silver, white and black dyes) but this will only show in only some facets of the crystal - which facets appear tinted depends on the viewing angle; some facets will always retain their magenta coloring at any given viewing angle. It seems to be dyed yellow by default.
