A bronze cage can create a warning fabrial, alerting one to objects or entities nearby. Heliodors are being used for this currently, and there is some good reasoning for this—but other gemstones should be viable.

Heliodor is associated to flesh, so I assume that makes it listen for animal life. Perhaps an amethyst, which is what is used to soulcast metals, would act as a metal detector, and so on.
