The Gem of Amarra was a legend amongst vampires. The Gem rendered the vampire who wore it invincible. Vampires combed the world for the Gem, but none found it and it was concluded that the Gem must be a myth, not unlike the Holy Grail. In 4.03 The Harsh Light Of Day, Spike discovered the Gem in a ring sealed in an underground crypt in Sunnydale. After Buffy got the ring from Spike she entrusted it to Oz to deliver to Angel, who destroyed it as he was worried it might get into the wrong hands.
In 3.01 Heartthrob, after an invincible vampire attacks Angel and Cordelia, Cordy asks Angel if:
“the Amarra people [made] cufflinks or belt buckles?”

A vampire attacking Angel and Cordelia in Heartthrob is invincible but ringless, prompting Cordy to ask Angel if “the Amarrah people [made] cufflinks or belt buckles.”

“Amarra”?

I think you’re right. I’ve no idea how I’ve been spelling it the other way! I’ll change all references to it now…

Lol! Just think about it.
A mythical gem that has been lost for centuries, and that simpleton makes chalk out of it… just because if it ever got useful, then life would be easier and that would be BAD. ;) Buffy could have done that herself, thank you very much.
Can you imagine Percival finding the Grail and deciding to recycle it as a keyholder???
