Or maybe holding on to a chunk of it for long enough could actually transform a human into something like an earth elemental - a magical being with crystal flesh, gemstone eyes, etc.

Possibly it enhances local mana, but eventually makes you a glowing radioactive crystal skeleton with a personal wild mana field.

You'd never get a big enough piece of the stuff to make a Powerstone out of and that's _if_ you find some way to go digging under the still burning mushroom cloud at the site.

I'd use an Earth elemental, or maybe a titanium golem.
