Description

Appearance

The Fregosi Sapphire is a football-sized blue gemstone which appears as cluster of rugged crystals. Very pure, it gives off a faint glow and sparkles.

Powers and traits

Described as (ambiguously) powerful, the Fregosi Sapphire is a great source of energy which can be harnessed as a power source for machinery. It is so powerful that it can increase a robot's power and durability to the point that it becomes nearly invincible. Even a fragment of it packs quite a punch.^[2]

Knuckles guarding the Fregosi Sapphire.

The Fregosi Sapphire was uncovered at Mr. Slate's dig site of an Ancient ruin on Seaside Island. After Dr. Eggman failed to steal the Sapphire at its showcase, Knuckles the Echidna volunteered to guard it. The Fregosi Sapphire was eventually stolen again by Eggman, who used it to power his Mega Bot. The gemstone was soon retrieved by Team Sonic and returned to Knuckles, but a fragment broke off it during the escapade, one which Tails installed into Bea the Bee as her power source.^[2]

 ==Trivia==
 *The Fregosi Sapphire's name is a reference to the episode "[[W:C:munsters:The Fregosi Emerald|The Fregosi Emerald]]" from ''[[Wikipedia:The Munsters|The Munsters]]'', a reference of which was included in "[[Give Bees A Chance]]" by [[Bill Freiberger]].<ref name="Name">{{Cite web|url=https://twitter.com/AlanTheWriter/status/845757484794966016 |title=Alan Denton on Twitter |date=25 March 2017 |work=Twitter |accessdate=25 March 2017 |quote='''Alan Denton''': "Fregosi Sapphire" is a Munsters reference put in by (who else?)

+*The Fregosi Sapphire is the first mineral-based power source in the ''[[Sonic Boom (series)|Sonic Boom]]''. It is also the first to be identified other than an emerald.
+*As with most ancient gemstones in the ''Sonic'' series, (such as the [[Master Emerald]] and [[Chaos Emerald]]s) the Fregosi Sapphire is guarded by the ''Sonic Boom'' incarnation of [[Knuckles the Echidna (Sonic Boom)|Knuckles the Echidna]].
+**Knuckles' statement during the episode "Give Bees A Chance" that people have complained he's not guarding "rare stones enough" is a reference to how Knuckles usually fills this role in most ''Sonic'' media.
