Jasper Lapis Lazuli Novels & Stories

A couple of thick scents I immediately recognize to be sandalwood and roses envelope the entire room. Just a few steps away from the bathing chamber, there is a vanity table and two chairs all made from lapis lazuli. I am very familiar with that deep blue color and markings because back in Velmira, lapis lazuli is one of our most abundant natural resources that we mine and use in building so many things in the palace and for business export. The vanity table contains varieties of bottles and brushes that I don't bother counting them. Everything in this room is opulent. Indulgent and yet makes me feel at home. Someone curated everything in this room with care as if trying to say: ‘You may not

Piper stayed put, counting the seconds and the steady but rapid beat of her heart. When she finally entered the ballroom, she went unnoticed by the crowds. Prospective bidders were focused on the collection of amethysts and lapis lazuli that were gathered on a display table, arranged with purple mums to bring out the natural colors of the gems. Piper looked over the tops of the heads in the crowd, trying to see where Mikhail had gone, but there was no trace of him. Her heart sank with disappointment. She'd hoped he would stay.

She looked just like me, but with dark hair and although she looked tired, she was wearing a big smile as she stared down at the three kids on her lap. That must be our mother..... Where was she? No one mentioned her. . "Lilyyy" I whisper but no response came How exactly does this summoning work? "Lily"... Still no response. I dropped the picture in frustration and picked up a red little box on top of the other gifts. Is it right to open it? .. Why not? They are mine after all. I opened it up and almost gasped at the beautiful necklace in it. With a round blue pendant that glows.... It looks like the moon. The full moon.

“Liler is going to Diltron to gamble on gems again. He said he wants to get a green royal jade and make a jade inkstone for Madam Judd!” “Hahaha, what a joke! A green royal jade? Liler got a cracked green royal jade just the day before yesterday!” “That’s right! I saw it with my own eyes. It was cracked so badly that it couldn’t be used to make anything out of it. It could only be polished to make jade beads.” Harmonia approached them and asked with a smile, “Hello, are you talking about Liler from the Judd family?” The men who were having the discussion widened their eyes when they saw Harmonia and nodded, “Yes, it’s him!”

I asked, looking up at her. “That’s a Lapis Lazuli stone, it’s used to gain information when entering a new realm. It has special abilities that act as a gateway to your mind and give you knowledge of how the species live in each realm. It’s a useful stone for tradesmen. Protects them from encountering any shady Fae or creatures.” Audra explained. I furrowed my brows again, rubbing the stone. “Oh I didn’t realize that, I just thought it was pretty.” I lied, I wanted to tell her about Ryuu and what I saw, but I didn’t quite believe it myself.

“Zara, I love this skirt. This shade of green is very flattering on you!” I peek in at them from the doorway and watch Zara smooth down her skirt. “Thank you, Am... uh... Mom? It’s emerald but did you know emeralds are actually beryllium aluminum silicate? They just have chromium and vanadium impurities. It comes in other varieties too, it just depends on the mineral impurities introduced during its formation.”

Mia removed the tile, and inside was a wooden box small enough to fit in the palm of Mia's hand. She looked at her dad and then at me. "Can I open it?" We both nodded. Mia carefully opened it. We all gathered around her to see what was inside. A few pieces of blue lapis lazuli and four small sapphires. "Wow," Mia said, fingering the gems. She stared at them for a few minutes before looking at me. “What’s behind your tile, Mommy?” "I don’t know." I looked at Annabel. "Let’s find out."

“Let me see. Let me see!” Yvonne immediately rushed over and bent down to take a good look. She traced her fingers over the jade. “Oh my God. Its coloring is absolutely gorgeous. It’ll be so easy selling this over 20 million!” “Is this icy lavender jadeite? It’s the first time I’ve seen something of this caliber!” Tanya was excited as well. Fane had all the stars in the world to thank for this sort of luck; he had chosen such a fantastic piece.

I'm looked at the shopkeeper and he smiled kindly to me. "What type of jewel is it?" I asked curiously. That's the 'Empress' Jade Jasper'. It is a very expensive artefact and it would be beautiful for your lady." "I love it. How much does it cost?" "It is a very costly piece of jewelry." "How much is it?" "About $1500." I looked at him. It was very expensive to buy but I was going to get the best for Bailey. "I'll take it." The shopkeeper was pleasantly surprised and carefully walked to the counter and took out the key to the display case. He walked back to the case and opened it gently and ceremoniously.

The bracelet was colorful and pretty. "Aunt Chubs, what's this?" Candice asked, raising her wrist to look at the unique beads. As Mila touched Candice's fair wrist, she sighed. She continued, "It suits you so well. It's a rare and natural chrysoberyl we found when we were mining at the frontiers. It's different from the normal chrysoberyl. This is a very rare and precious gemstone." "It's too precious, Aunt Chubs. I can't accept it. You should give it to Jasper instead," Candice said before taking it off.
