Gem of Intuitive Reaction by ikselam

Manse: •••
Trigger: None.

This clear icosahedral gem's facets sparkle constantly, seemingly independent of any exterior light source. When attuned, it heightens the bearer's intuition and reflexes, allowing him to anticipate and react to even the most unexpected turns of events. Unfortunately, it also shortens his attention span and makes him somewhat jumpy. Mechanically, the character gains a three-die bonus to all Wits rolls and adds 3 to his base initiative. However, he suffers a one-die penalty to any task requiring prolonged concentration.

possibly the Jewel of Whispers (Caste Book: Eclipse, p. 79)

I thought I should add this here, even though I agree with Buji's categorization and believe this should ultimately be a Solar Hearthstone. However, it seems to be a very Stealthy and Airy ability, so... --UncleChu

Mockingbird Stone by ikselam

Manse: •••
Trigger: Kissing (Simple).

This hearthstone resembles a crystalline replica of its namesake's egg. When attuned, it allows its bearer to steal others' voices. The wearer kisses the target on the mouth, and inhales his voice into her lungs. The kiss must be held for an entire round for the power to take effect. For the next lunar month, she will be able to speak with his voice whenever she wishes; this is his actual voice, not an imitation. During this time, the person whose voice was stolen will be completely mute. The duration of this effect can be ended prematurely if the Mockingbird Stone's bearer kisses the target again and exhales his voice back into him. There is no limit on the number of voices that can be stolen at one time. Beings who have no mouths cannot lose their voices to the Mockingbird Stone, although ones who don't breathe can.

Voices stolen by the Mockingbird Stone can speak in any language known to the wearer or to the person from whom they were stolen. However, although the wearer can express herself fluently in a foreign language known to the target, she does not gain the ability to understand anything anyone else says in that language unless she herself has knowledge of it.

Pretender’s Stone by Quendalon

Manse: •••
Trigger: None, constant

Silvery specks gleam in the heart of this smoky jewel. Its bearer may utter the most barefaced lies with casual ease; she adds three additional dice to all Charisma and Manipulation rolls that involve tricking or deceiving others.

Stone of Crystalline Logic by ikselam

Manse: •••
Trigger: None.

This tetrahedral hearthstone is a cool, clear blue. When attuned, it allows its owner to almost completely subjugate his emotions and instincts to his rational mind. Mechanically, any attempts to manipulate or appeal to his emotions (magical or mundane) are at +1 difficulty, and he gains a three-die bonus to any pools having to do with reasoned argument or intellectual endeavour. Additionally, he can easily ignore the urgings of his heart, and need not spend Willpower to resist a Virtue (although he will still gain Limit for acting against it, if applicable).

Stone of Flexible Thinking by ikselam

Manse: •••
Trigger: None.

This colorless hearthstone looks like a crystal rod which has been somehow tied into a knot. When attuned, it makes its bearer's mind more agile, allowing him to easily approach problems from more than one angle. Mechanically, he gains one bonus die to all Investigation, Lore, and Occult rolls. In addition he may, once per scene, reroll any failed check involving a Mental Attribute.
