As the artifact cracked apart, its once imposing structure crumbled to the ground before dissolving into a gentle mist made entirely of pure qi.

Its body a semi-transparent, jelly like blob, somewhere between a polished pearl and a drifting cloud, while color scheme was anything but ordinary, constantly shifting between a soft ocean blue, a gentle pink and occasionally a brilliant gold.
Observing closer, the surface wobbled slightly with each movement, causing tiny ripples to travel across its form as though it was made of some kind of liquid.
