More cool for me than for the fortress, but I got a green diamond weapon rack made from the only three green diamonds on the map. I found them by accident digging out a ramp spiral to use just for screenshotting, and with the next dwarf to get a mood I decided to see what DFHack displayed when you used showmood. She wanted 3x rough gems and nothing else... how many green diamonds did I have on-site again?

So yeah, I cheated like hell to get the weapon rack (to the point of savescumming when she made a perfect gem. Twice), but I never use gems for anything but mood fodder and I never find the max value gems. I don't feel bad at all.

It has a picture of a rat weed on it. She doesn't even like rat weed. Maybe the whole weapon rack is a sculpture of a rat weed, made entirely from menacing spikes and hanging rings, and the picture of the rat weed is not a picture of a rat weed but a depiction of the artifact itself.

I am trying to make chickens lay bees as eggs. So far it only produces a single "Tame Small Creature" when a hen lays bees.
Honestly at the time, I didn't see what could go wrong with crowding 80 military Dwarves into a small room with a necromancer for the purpose of making bacon.

I seriously pity the snatcher that tries to snatch the dorf-child playing with that.

Snatcher: Aha! An unguarded child!

Dorf-child: Bad mans!

Bad mans atoms are severed. The severed part flies of in an arc. Armok smiles.

Artifacts are indestructible. Doors can be locked. Do the math.

I got an adamantine left gauntlet encrusted with gems and bones, worth more than all of my other artifacts put together

I also managed to get a wooden musket recently.  With a copper bayonet.  And lots of menacing spikes.

Drownedempty, the Cerulean Lengths:
This is an almandine coffin, On the item is an image of table cut gems in almadine.
This one is reserved for the queen, should she arrive.

Ogred Stumam, The Swamps of Broiling:
This is a steel chain. Bands of sheep bone and rope reed fiber. On the item is an image of Singedstakes the dog and Leadcleft the giant bark scorpion. The artwork relates to the mortal wounding of the dog Singlestakes by the zombie giant bark scorpion Leadcleft.
This one is in my well.

Sunkenglumness, the Flare of Cobras:
This is a native silver scepter. Encrusted with native silver cabochons, galena cabochons, giant bat bone, aquamarines and electrum. Spikes of horn silver and blue peafowl leather. There is an image of two weapon racks in alexandrite. In giant rat bone is an image of the FIRST queen of the civilization, Obok Oildrinkers, ascending to the throne. There is an image of giant adders in alpaca leather.
The pimp cane. Most expensive artifact.

Skeweredchance, the Bird of Merchants:
This is a steel breastplate, Bands of tunnel tube and spikes of almadine.  Image of an elf striking down a troglodite in steel. Black-cap image of a dwarf striking down a yeti. Image of gems in native copper.
Remarkable only in that if failed to protect the militia commander against a giant spider FB´s webs.

So yeah, I cheated like hell to get the weapon rack (to the point of savescumming when she made a perfect gem. Twice), but I never use gems for anything but mood fodder and I never find the max value gems. I don't feel bad at all.
Ive only ever found light yellow diamonds. I dream of the day Ill find black diamonds and encrust them in an adamantine axe that menaces with spikes of goblin bone and bands of FB silk. And then go on a murder spree with it.

Probably the best known adamantine non-weapon was the door. It was made of goblin bone. It menaced with spikes of iron. It was the best thing ever.

A larch throne. Perfect for prophecies...

Dwarven nobles prove their worth by attempting to take their seat on the ever-burning throne. It is said that the true king shall resist the flames and be the master of both fire and The Crystal of Reverences.

A steel buckler with the image made of dolomite of a dwarf and a hydra dueling.  If I remember it correctly...I will have to get the description when I get home.

A dog bone sword with bands of cat bone, menaced with spikes of dog hair and had an image of a crescent moon, my civilization's symbol.
I forgot what it was called though.  :(
