Lapis X Peridot Novels & Stories

Hala with her cyan, magenta, and chartreuse circles I also know well. Machiv's eyes shrink a little as his eyebrows furrow, and the hexagons expand to form a shape of multiple buckyballs intersecting, and then condensing to form a small, glowing, peridot sun the size of a marble. "Wow," says Mrs. Loop, "very nice, Machiv." "Thank you." "Though, that's not going to get you extra credit," says Mrs. Loop with a laugh, and everyone returns it. "Oh well," says Machiv with a shrug, and the peridot sun splits in two before condensing into a pair of gemstone peridot earrings, which he hands to a happy Hala.

“Here, take a look.” Everyone crowded closer as Xena lifted the lid. Inside was a delicate lavender gemstone bracelet that sparkled under the chandelier light. “Wow, that’s stunning,” someone said. “Lavender gemstones like that are incredibly rare. It must be worth a fortune.” Xena’s smile deepened as she admired it. “Felix really knows how to make a woman feel special,” she said softly.

Reaching behind another pink crystal, Maria spotted a crystal pink egg adorned in gold ornaments. 'Found it!' She happily held the item in her hand before taking out her list. On the list given to each student, there were five colored crystal eggs which ranged from emerald, pink, ruby, sapphire, and topaz. "I found one!" Julian's voice rang out, holding a similar egg, only his was topaz.

The silver stood out, though not as brightly as the blue gemstone in the center. “What is that?” I asked, nudging my chin at the piece of jewelry. “This,” He lifted the ring for me to inspect, “is our way off this island. The gem is Lapis Lazuli. Beautiful, isn’t it?” “It is, but how will a ring get us off the island?” My father’s lips quirked up in a mischievous grin that had my insides warming. It wasn’t until meeting him, my birth parent, that I realized how little I looked like Lucille.

Kael wrapped his arms around my waist and buried his face on my back. “A few days ago, they gave me many gems and made me choose ten.” “Do you remember what you chose?” He asked, his face still pressed against my back. I shook my head. “Not all, as I didn’t know all the gems. But among those I choose, the ones that are familiar are Sapphire, Citrine, Amethyst, Ruby, Emerald, and Garnet. All the others, I was not familiar with.” I heard him mumble, repeating the ones I told him.

~Thea There is no doubting, that everything has changed. That I am no longer how I was yesterday. Jasper stood behind me, staring into the mirror as I did. Something was so common between us, there is no mistaking it. Our eyes. Just looking at it made me want to claw my eyes out. That deep-set violet shade had taken over my once hazel eyes, infecting me with the colour I had admired about Jasper. Now it belongs to me too, although, it hardly amounts to what I see in Jasper's eyes. His are alight and dazzling, vivid with colour. Mine are still bland and rather lifeless.

Bella was eyeing one of them. Thankfully, she had a big mouth and had mentioned the lineup of jewelry she wanted to own to Emily. Her taste was okay. She deserved to be Derek Thompson's daughter. However, she was messing with the wrong woman and would find out the consequences. A woman came out from behind the stage and placed the first piece of jewelry in front of the auctioneer. A set of jewelry made of peridot. The stone material was just one small thing that made it special. It was believed to have once belonged to Cleopatra.

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.

It is stunning. “Let me guess, you know what the blue one is and were told how much more this costs than your life?” I look at her, and she laughs. “They said you would likely ask. The blue ones are Grandidierite, and yes, I was told about the cost.” She smiles and leads me to a chair. Placing the items down, she begins to do my hair. It has been too long, I will demand to go somewhere for food after here. Half an hour later, she is still doing my hair.

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."
