Alolan Graveler seems to have dark structures made of {{wp|Piezoelectricity#Materials|piezoelectric crystals}} or {{wp|magnetite}}, a subset of iron ore known for its black crystalline appearance and magnetic properties. The golden gems may be also inspired by piezoelectric materials, or by {{wp|amber}} and its electrostatic characteristics.
