The shards are of similar shape but the one in the placement on the dais is made of black adamantine while The Shard of Pride is made of coppery
horacalcum.
The black adamantine shard is the Shard of Greed.
Doc takes a quick look over Molasbar's shoulder, to see if he recognizes anything about it.
Shathee looks at the dark shard sitting on the dais but can't make heads or tails of anything about it.
"Are we going to just keep staring at it? Maybe we should try to pick it up with something so it doesn't... affect us." He offers the void key as a possibility as a potential way of carrying it if we could scrape it off into the container using an long weapon.
Doc waves his hands and shakes his head. "Not me. But seems likely that this rock is 'nother shard like th' one that Aurie carries. Mebbe you can carry it temporarily, just 'til we get it back to the Pathfinders and can figgir out exactly what it is."
Opening the void key you are easily able to scoop the new shard into space. Looking at the indentations on the platform it appears there is a space for seven shards. Each similar in shape but slightly different so that it would take a particular shard to fit each space.
That void key thing is clearly important as well, can we transport this back to Mrs. Heidmarch too?

You've recovered the shard. Do you head straight back? Although you freed prisoners from the cells there are still a few areas left to look in the macabre area where the darro were working.
Doc scratches his head. "As anxious as I am t' get back, I really don' want to come back here. Mebbe we should make sure there ain't any more o' them derro things keepin' stuff that would help our investigation lurkin' around here?"
Indeed, I am a bit wobbly, but I can fight
She pauses
That could have gone much worse, how are you holding up Shathee?
"I'm not feeling great, but I'd prefer to keep going and make sure we get all of these art pieces detailed out for Mr. Heidmarch. I'm trying to write them down as we come to them, but there have been some we've missed. I may hang back and use a bow til I recover a bit more. In the meantime, I'll work on journaling the areas we hit with artwork and such."
The team heads back up the steps and comes into the room where they originally dealt with the derro. There is a door to the north that stands slightly ajar as well as one to the south-west.
right hand right wall? Aurie says as she moves to the northern door and tries to peer through
