I am not a merchant. I find people in general way too inconsiderate
to find joy in selling items. I give away stuff for free, or I sell it
to merchants.

When I kill HGs, I loot the first to sell later, the rest of the
stones I find I /ooc the location of it, tell people to come and
get it. I am not greedy.

I don't help strangers that much. Friends of mine receive help with no
thought of debt.

You say it yourself, this item is required, in abundance, and you are a
merchant. What self-respecting merchant out there gives away free items
because they aren't of much value to them.

No one has ever complained about people selling high level runes and words
and pages for 50-100pp if they want, I see no difference between
this and lambent stones, if you do please tell me what it is.

My bard bought most of his stones from merchants near banks or
near HGs/SGs.
