What the title says. ITT we share ideas about what we think calcified time actually looks like.

Feeling kinda dumb for imagining them as crates of hourglasses.

I don't know, an hourglass seems like an appropriate vessel to keep hours in!

I've always imagined Hours looking a little like compressed tea bricks. There's just something appealing about a group of high society types shaving off minutes into their teacups. [spoiler] [/spoiler]

We got our answer in the Albion release. They look like gems but they can be woven? Oooo very intriguing.
To be more precise* they're described as a fibrous, salt-like substance found inside geodes. So presumably the "gems" are those geodes, still holding the raw time.
*I may need to go through the tour again to double check this.
