How to Get It

Alchemy

Crafted by Alchemy (Recipe: Vial of the Sands). The recipe is found only inside a Canopic Jar, the Tol'vir 'crate' reward from the Archaeology secondary profession.

Cataclysm two-seater flying mount (turns you into a Sandstone Drake that can carry an ally). The recipe is a rare random find from Tol'vir Archaeology, so the recipe itself is unfarmable on the AH — but the finished mount has been tradeable since a 2010-12-14 hotfix made it BoE, which is why it remains one of WoW's classic high-value crafted mounts to buy or sell.
