It's a type of helmet. morion is the singular. Morions is plural. DF nouns often don't have a singular form.

A gem.
Morions is the plural form.

Smoky quartz or Smokey quartz is a brown to black variety of quartz caused through the natural (or artificial) irradiation of aluminium-containing rock crystal.
A very dark brown to black opaque variety is known as morion. Morion is the German, Danish, Spanish and Polish synonym for smoky quartz.
It's a type of helmet. morion is the singular. Morions is plural. DF nouns often don't have a singular form.
In this case it's the gem.  DF helmets are called helms.

DF's geological stuff is accurate to reality.  (Except for HFS, of course)

...Soulcatcher wears one, in the Black Company series.  But yeah, the DF ones are the mineral sort.   8)

In dwarffortresswiki.net there's a panel to the left where you can see a "search" field. When you place there a word and press enter it shows you all the references.
