Who has a copy of Plan B to hand?
Edited to Add: The pertinent passage (in I Dare) has been found. Thanks!
I need the description of Korval's Ring -- the *real* Ring. I'm thinking of the scene where Val Con shows it to Miri and asks her to commit it to memory.

Brilliant it might be, but up close, it showed its age. There was a runkle in top of the band, as if somebody had used the edge to strip wire, or maybe to scratch a message into hull plate. And while the intarsia work depicting Korval's Tree-and-Dragon was intact, one of the two emeralds framing the carved Flaran Cha'menthi showed a dark crack at its heart, and the other, whole, held more than a tinge of yellow.
"Emerald's bust, boss," she said, turning the Ring around and peering inside the band for an engraving.
"It has been so for...quite some time," Val Con said.
The inside of the band was smooth; any engraving that might have been there had probably been worn away by generations of Korval fingers.
She gave it one more hard stare, then handed it back to Val Con.
"Got it"
