Lapis Peridot Novels & Stories

Beryl could clearly see their unwillingness, so she didn't insist and left with Opal. "Do you know…" 'She's at this again' Lani thought but didn't interrupt her. "…Beryl is also a gemstone like Opal." Lani blinked her eyes trying to absorb what she was actually telling her. “Really!?” “Hmm, Emerald belongs to the Beryl family.” "What!! So that means even their names are rich like them." Remembering the outfit and fabric Beryl was wearing. And, of course, her heels… and her watch, that looked too expensive. "Their surname too." Layla giggled.

Curious, I search green gemstones with photos. Nothing looks quite like the one on Maya's wrist. And hers changed colour with the angle of the light — or with her mood? No way. Then I remember where I've seen it. I log into the pack's digital library and type vampire artefacts. I don't have to scroll far. There it is — a bracelet identical to Maya's. My chest tightens, my breath hitches mid-inhale, and I read it several times over. The Peridex bracelet is an ancient artefact used by noble vampires to announce their claim on the one they are courting, and to declare that person under their protection.

He said, staring at it. “So, what more do you know about it, then?” Stephen asked out of curiosity. We didn’t need any paper to jot anything down as our memory could be relied on. “It is a very rare mineral that was discovered in 1907 in San Benito County in California. You see this gem, it was mistaken for sapphire, because of how it looks like. And it belongs to the Hexagonal system, it’s class is Ditrigonal-Dipyramidal and it is really expensive.” His uncle explained and returned the gem back to Stephen.

His tattooed arms folded across his chest, giving him more the appearance of a biker than a jeweler. “Hard to source?” I asked. “Oh, I can find it. But are you sure you want to use your mother’s ring? I could melt it down and make something new with the gold,” he suggested. I shook my head firmly, and Dion sighed. “Well then, get your wallet ready. Serendibite costs eighteen thousand dollars a carat. The earliest I can have it delivered is six weeks, and I’ll need to cut it to fit. So far, I’ve only managed to find it raw,” he explained.

It has color! Skylar’s heart jolted—a flicker of pure, unadulterated excitement. She focused her Metaphysical Eye deeper, analyzing the jade’s clarity, luster, and color saturation. Her preliminary analysis was stunning: this was old-pit, glass-type jadeite, possessing incredible clarity and quality, second only to the legendary Imperial Green. She had snatched an incredibly rare and expensive treasure. Her eyes, usually cold and detached, shone with a fierce, ambitious fire. She glanced around the miserable upper bunk, the filth of the Vance family suddenly feeling inconsequential. She needed to liquidate this asset immediately.

I got up and asked," Is there anything I can help you with?" " Yes? No, I mean I wanted to give you this if you don't mind," he says nervously and takes out a small box. He opened it and there was a beautiful sapphire pendant in a gold necklace. The cutting and design of the gemstone was mesmerising. I have never seen such a unique design before. " This is just one of the masterpieces crafted by eleven lapidaries. I hope it's up to your liking." Taking the box from Vetos, I thanked," I love it . It's so beautiful and this butterfly design is giving me fairy vibes.``

He asked his attendant who was driving to make a turn and speed up, successfully losing Madeline. Soon after, Madeline’s car reappeared in the rearview mirror. Fabian found this odd, but then noticed the red string around Lillian’s neck. “Lily, can you let me see your red string?” Fabian asked for Lillian’s consent. Lilly blinked, then put her small hands on the red string, gently taking the pendant down. It was a crystalline jadeite. While miniature, the jadeite was extraordinarily refined and in the shape of Lillian’s horoscope–a vivid and realistic crab just the size of an average fingernail.

"It's just some cheap glass cuts that look like they came from a beer bottle. I'll pay you 100 thousand at most." I ran my fingers along the bracelet, smiling at his ignorance. "This bracelet is a flawless, vivid green. It was crafted from top-grade emerald. Mr. Latham, you might want to check the price of emerald first. I can assure you that 100,000 probably wouldn't even buy you a single karat."

He stands and passes it to her; she holds it up in the light, it’s almost iridescent with thin veins of black running through it. “Labradorite. That particular shade is a little rarer than some, but it does go rather well with the blue Damascus, I thought.” She nods, “I have an idea for the board, inspired by your design of the pieces.” She inclines her head and moves the pieces aside so he has room. He smirks and waves his staff around a bit, and a simple, but very elegant board appears.

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.
