Lapis X Peridot Novels & Stories

He said, his eyes narrowing as he stared at my face. I felt even more motivated to see how interested he was. Without heading, I sat upright and said, “I’ll be launching my new jewel. The new Jewel will be made from a rare material known like Pinite and I’ll be adding a very few touch of gemstones in it.” “That’s amazing! You know, your mom has thought of making jewels with painite some years ago but she wasn’t able to achieve it. I’m glad you are able to do something she’s never been able to do.”

Stephens never disappointed, but this time, he had outdone himself. I reached for the first box, the one lined in deep blue velvet. Inside was a necklace that seemed almost alive. The centerpiece was a pinkish-orange gem that looked like a captured sunset, surrounded by smaller white diamonds that shimmered under the desk lamp. I remembered Stephens saying, “This stone, Mr. Blackwood is rare; its Padparadscha sapphire. It symbolizes eternal passion and grace. It’s one of the rarest sapphires in the world, perfect for a woman who inspires both.”

she choked out. Illyra heard the box snap open. She felt the warmth of his body as he moved to stand behind her. She felt a heavy weight against the bare skin beneath her collarbone. It was surprisingly heavy. Frowning, she opened her eyes. A simple gold chain hung around her neck, with an enormous green pendant wrapped in gold wire. Shocked, she touched the olive-green jewel, the size of a robin’s egg. “What’s this?” “It’s a peridot,” he said quietly. “Carved from a meteorite that fell to Siberia in 1749. It once belonged to my great-grandmother.”

And standing up close to it and seeing just what the harborage was her breath was taken away. It was a massive oasis located right in the middle of the blazing desert looking like it were a collection of gemstones come to life. There were trees of different heights and sizes with the colour and texture of sodalite, lepidolite and malachite. Flowers of different types with the colour and texture of angelite, citrine, rose quartz and carnelian. Grass that ran across the floor of the entire oasis with the colour and texture of aventurine and shrubs scattered here and there with the colour and texture of hematite and black tourmaline. A large waterfall with water the colour of lapis lazuli. Rock

Alyssa was taken aback but didn't reach out to take the box. She hadn't expected Jasper to have kept that by his side all this time. "Alice couldn't possibly accept that from you. I'll do it in her stead." Before Alyssa could say anything, Colene had taken the box from Jasper. Inside was a gorgeous bracelet carved from the finest lavender moon quartz. It gleamed with a soft light, looking like a treasure from centuries before. Alyssa could instantly tell this was a one-of-a-kind material, not usually for sale to the public. If Jasper had given this to her years ago, she would have been so happy she wouldn't have been able to sleep.

A breathtaking masterpiece crafted from rose bronze, its metal delicately sculpted into the shape of interlaced tendrils and celestial swirls, creating a subtle shimmer that catches the light with every movement. At the center of the hand rests a teardrop-shaped emerald, glowing with deep forest green tones — the heart of the piece. Encircling it is a halo of yellow sapphires and icy blue topaz, blending together like the first blush of sunrise meeting a fading night sky. A smile spread across my face. “This is the one.” I said under my breath. My parents can twin it. I took a peep at the price and it was expensive, but I could afford it.

“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.”

“I see that you brought some papers as well. Give that to me. I hope they’re sample designs.” “They are,” I confirm, and she flips through them immediately as soon as I hand over the files. Her face immediately goes slack with surprise and admiration. “Oh, these are gorgeous! I love the one that you designed with obsidian stones!” She shows me one of the sample designs, the interwoven gold that Émeraude is famous for, dotted with little emeralds. “I want this. Maybe don’t release this just yet because I want one for me that I can show off to my friends.”

Inside it’s a hair clip with jewels that are close to the color of Qadira’s fur and Hope’s eyes. “It’s blue topaz and citrine. I couldn’t find one that I wanted, then mom found a place where I could have it made especially for you,” Faith says excitedly. “Oh, Faith. It’s beautiful.” “It matches Qadira’s fur and is very close to Hope’s eyes,” I tell her. “That’s what I was going for! It’s a gift for both of you,” she says. “I love it, Little Sister,” Qadira says to her.

"We need to have four items to represents the four elements." "I already have three of them." "Where can we get the last one?" "We will have to ask if our friends here could lean us some," said the princess. Nayris smiled and came to them with a sewn bag in his little hand. He pulled a handful of gemstones from the bag. Cassandra had never seen so many beautiful stones, malachites, obsidians, jaspers, and jades. Each one gleamed in its own vibrant color. "Pick any of them as you please, my lady," Nayris said.
