This trowel is exquisitely crafted with a handle made from polished oak, a large ruby inlaid in gold at the heel of the trowel's blade, and golden stalks of wheat run up from the tip flanking the ruby on each side.

Occasionally, the trowel emits a faint, calming melody that soothes nearby creatures and promotes growth and harmony.
