“Ms. Vanderbilt, Jade Mountain Co. is facing a shortage of rare rough stones. We can’t purchase rough stones like aquamarine, tanzanite, golden emerald, black opal, and topaz from them.” Maisie closed the list and looked up. “Aquamarine and golden emerald, we can order those from Millennial Gemstone Inc., the price that they can offer is more or less similar to Jade Mountain Co. As for the black opal and tanzanite, only Taylor Jewelry has them.”

Mum asks, looking from Ares to Mummo, and to Vaari again, when Osric moves behind her, sensing she is worried. "There are two sets of stone bowls that flow into one another I believe one set is black labradorite, in the right light it flares red. The other is rainbow moonstone otherwise known as white labradorite, and flares blue and purple. I think I heard Deborah call it labradorescence when she was showed Benjamin her pentad," Ares explains, stepping away from cooking, as one of their kitchen helpers takes over.

She quietly slipped into the auction room and found a seat in the corner of the last row. As she looked up, her eyes locked onto a large rough gemstone being displayed under glass—an uncut stone weighing around ten kilograms. Its raw surface shimmered under the lights, with a tight matrix of minerals and a faint, electric-blue hue peeking through the crevices. At first glance, it looked incredibly promising. The surface was clean, compact, and the glow suggested it could be a specimen of rare Paraíba tourmaline—perhaps even gem-quality with high copper content. The kind collectors drooled over. The kind that could fetch millions.

"I wasn't sure what stones you liked, so I settled for your birthstone." He hands me the small, black velvet box. I'm almost scared to open it for some reason, but I swallow this irrational fear and lift the lid. I gasp audibly when I see it—a diamond and topaz bracelet. The gems vary after each other, a diamond placed after a topaz gem and so on. The shape of the gems are small, oval and quaint, but the amount of light they reflect is almost blinding; the diamonds are like mirrors falling into each other, the topaz a bright shade of blue that rivals the luster and grace of a clear noon sky. The clasp and fastener is silver like the framing the jewels are in. This bracelet easily cost Sebast

For convenience, the shop had been closed that day, only serving Jake and Ann. The shopkeeper invited Ann to sit in the shop comfortably, and some of the shop assistants brought some types of jewelry from the newest collection. Ann could tell that these jewels were all costly and of high quality from the gleam of their light. Besides being made of gold, the gemstones that adorn them were stunning. Emerald, topaz, rose quartz, ruby, peridot, tourmaline, onyx, diamond, jadeite, opal, sapphire, alexandrite. The price was hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars per carat.

I tell them with a concerned look on my face. “You were poisoned. Someone slipped wulfenite into your water canister,” dad says through gritted teeth. My eyes widen in surprise, “Wulfenite? Where the hell did someone get wulfenite?” I ask in disbelief. Wulfenite is this rare mineral that is found in shades of reds, oranges, or yellows. It’s usually too thin and sensitive to be cut for jewellery, so faceted pieces end up as collector’s items. It’s not significant to humans or other supernatural creatures, but to a mutolupus, it’s highly toxic. If it doesn’t turn you insane, it kills you.

Once home, Maria began doodling ideas of what piece of jewelry she should make for Mai. Maria came up with the idea for using citrine topaz gemstones due to how much the color suited Mai's vibrant and confident nature. A girl whose aura glowed brighter than the sun; despite the tragedy of her past, she still possessed the willpower to move forward. Mai was the type of girl Maria envied yet also looked up to, the girl who deserved to be the heroine of her own story.

Scattered among them are smaller accents of amethyst with their royal purple charm, golden citrine, and sparkling white topaz that catch the light like tiny stars. The stones are arranged in a balanced sequence, forming a rainbow-like symphony that feels both elegant and enthralling. It matches almost every attire you put on with it. I never thought I'd ever get the chance to embrace the look of this necklace on my body. There is a connection felt between me and every one of my design pieces, it's as if I poured my soul or a part of me into them. “This is– thank you so much, Max.” I reached out my arms and embraced Max's shoulders. “This is one of the best design pieces I have created and al

I recognized a bright blue one as my birthstone, Tanzanite, but I looked to Dez to hopefully identify the rest. “Moonstone, to help bring you clarity,” he said as I faced the opal, white-coloured one his way before turning it to the reddish-brown coloured one with stripes running through it, “red tiger’s eye, to help ground you and offer calming energy,” I turned to the last one, which was a deep green colour with red marks on it, “and bloodstone, to help you stay true to yourself, and draw from your own personal strength.” “It’s… it’s… it’s perfect,” I stuttered out, “I don’t know what I’d do without you Dez, don’t leave me, ok?” The tears were streaming down my face as he brought me into h

So familiar, but exotic in a way I couldn't even begin to explain. I just stood, staring out the door like an absolute idiot, taking in the God at my doorstep. I couldn't take my eyes off his own. A deep-set swirling violet tinted with the darkest ebony black was confined to the irises of his eyes. It almost trapped me, like hands made from the illusory magic that seemed to pull me in.
