Crystal Gemstones Steven Universe Novels & Stories

That made me suspect that something else was going on right under my nose. “You finally caught me and—” I lifted the man by the neck, and he screamed in pain. “Take off all his clothes,” I asked Gabrielle, and she took out her claws. In a couple of movements, Steven was practically naked, and he had runes on him, but not just any runes—they were power-binding runes. “Who the hell are you bound to?” Steven laughed before spitting blood. Kill this bastard. Sirhan snapped before growling in my head. “You have no fucking idea; you don't know anything about what—”

he said, his voice carrying just enough for everyone to hear. Across the table, Stephan’s fork scraped harshly against his plate. My stomach sank even before I opened it. Inside, nestled against black satin, was a necklace, thin gold chain, delicate but striking, holding a rare gem that shimmered a soft silvery-blue. I have only ever read about such stones. They came from SilverClaw territory and were worth more than some people’s homes. “Oh, it’s beautiful!” Venita gasped, clapping her hands. “It’s so gorgeous,” my mum gushed. “Ashar, you shouldn’t have… you’re already the perfect son-in-law. Truly perfect.”

At this time, the stall was packed with people. Everyone gathered around, discussing quietly. Samuel also squeezed in for a long time before he squeezed out a position in the crowd and poked his head in. At the stall, a young man was wiping a red gem on the table. The gem was crystal clear, and at a glance, one could tell that it was definitely not an ordinary item. It shone with a very low-key but dazzling dark light. "This stone is extraordinary. It's a top-grade artifact crafting soul stone."

Silence hugs the temple, but my heartbeat is loud, booming through my ears, when I’m made to kneel before her, tilting my head down. Grandma Ella appears before me, Grandpa Ryatt beside her, and I feel the weight of a crown placed on my head. A crown of precious stones–gems from every corner of Eastonia. Emeralds, sapphires, and polished obsidian from Veiled Valley. Diamonds, turquoise, and aquamarine from Tarsian. Rubies and emeralds from the Roguelands. And moonstones from Moonrise that glow a bright crimson as my powers ignite the moment the crown is placed on my head.

Tristan asked. "I don't need anything from thee. Whereas you're the one who needs me," The mysterious voice answered. "What are ya talkin' about?" Tristan confusedly asked with his eyes and eyebrows joined together. He felt ignored because 12 gemstones suddenly appeared in front of him. He glanced at it with a questioned face. "There are 12 gemstones in front of thee," The mysterious voice started, "you'll reincarnate once you touched one of those, and each of those represents--"

But if Kohl could find more crystals and regain their power, he could turn the tide of their never-ending war. “What kind of crystal? I'm no expert, but I think there are several types.” She snapped her fingers. “Billy owns a gemstone collection on the side. Has a bazillion of them encased behind glass on the wall of his bar.” “Bar?” Kohlxchijr shook his head. “No this would be a unique crystal. Maybe even something not found on Earth readily.” “Like a meteorite? He has a few of those too, locked up in his safe.”

Clinging to Howard's arm, Crystal screeched, "You crazy man! How dare you hit Howie? Do you have any idea who he is…" But her voice faltered mid-sentence, her jaw dropping. "Is that the Pink Star diamond? And that's the Rockefeller emerald. Oh my god, a Chrysoberyl cat's eye! And that's a Padparadscha sapphire… Howie, buy me any one of them and I'll be happy…" Howard, still dazed, tried to stand but was forced back down by a bodyguard. "Shut up!" he snapped. He looked as if he wanted to tear Crystal's mouth off. Given his current financial situation, those stones were worth far more than everything he owned combined.

Even if there was nothing, there should be at least some leads of some sort. Maverick left the place completely, leaving Steven in the body of the river, breathing through an oxygen mask as his eyes scanned every object hidden in the water. He knew that finding this necklace would gain Alpha Rhaella’s ultimate trust and would play a pivotal role in winning the Alpha to his side. Anyway it goes, it’s a win-win situation for him. Steven’s hands paused on a sea-polished object buried partially in the riverbed. His fingers traced the smooth, curved surface, but as he lifted it slightly, he realized it wasn’t the necklace. It was something else entirely.

"That was the point." I reached into my pocket and pulled out a small leather bag. Inside were five stones—clear crystals with swirling blue cores. "Moon tears," Celeste gasped. "They're incredibly rare!" "And the only thing that can counter The Mother's black stone," I explained, giving one to each twin. "When she tries to possess you, these will protect your minds." Orion turned the rock in his hand. "You knew this would happen. You knew about us." "I've known since before you were born," I admitted.

And what about the rare gemstone that had been specifically requested? She hadn’t secured a single one. The weight of regret and panic crushed her. Steven and the other members of Fox Gemworks were equally stunned. This was beyond anything they could have imagined. Not a single gemstone had been revealed from over two thousand stones. Even with pure luck, they should’ve managed to get at least a few, right? What was this? A complete loss? Wasn’t Sarina supposed to be the best? Wasn’t she the one who could tell if a stone contained a gemstone just by touching it?
