Lava scale shardmembers
“Ground-up lava dragon scale.”
About this item
Lava scale shards are the result of using a pestle and mortar on a lava scale, which is dropped by lava dragons and brutal black dragons. Grinding a scale yields between 3-6 shards, with higher Herblore levels yielding a higher average. If the hard Wilderness Diary is complete, this amount will be increased by 50%, rounded down, meaning that players can receive either 4, 6, 7, or 9 shards per scale. They can also be obtained by using a hammer on an infernal eel, which require level 80 Fishing to catch.

Its high alch value of 12 does not cover the 154 nature rune it would burn, so alching is a loss before the item itself is counted.

Measured with medians rather than averages, because one spike — an update, a streamer, a brief squeeze — drags an average around for weeks afterwards and makes everything since look ordinary. Worth noting here: this item typically moves 4.77% in a day, which is more than the 3.53% you would be capturing — so holding it overnight risks more than the flip makes.
