Lapis X Peridot Novels & Stories

Xavier said, “This Magpie’s Treasure Nest has been intricately crafted with the most exquisite workmanship I’ve ever seen. Look at the intricacies and the detailing. Calcite, onyx, and agate—they’re materials of the finest quality. It’s value is immeasurable!” Ruby’s eyes were glowing even brighter now. “So, can it fetch a high price?”

Damn, those arse cheeks would give a great bounce. I licked my lips lustfully, allowing my hand to slip into my trousers and stroke myself. She was too fascinated by the prehnite and purple apatite frame bed under the glowing wisteria tree to notice. The tree was inside the gemstone garden so the body of the tree was made out of brown topaz with the bottom part made out of brown moonstone. The green of the tree was made out of peridot and the wisteria was made out of purple kunzite and lavender quartz. The tree was new. I asked the pixies to grow it for the special occasion. The bed was surrounded by sweet-smelling gemstone flowers. It was a simple gesture but I knew Sapphire would adore it

“You’re scaring us with that look.” I tore the seal cleanly and unfolded the letter. The header shimmered faintly under the light, and my eyes caught on the bold words: Assigned Gemstone: Paraiba Tourmaline (Origin: Paraíba, Brazil, Portuguese Mine 1830). I blinked once, twice. “Oh, you’ve got to be kidding me.” Ryan straightened. “What is it?” “Paraiba,” I said, pushing the paper toward him. “The most temperamental stone on the planet.”

he asked. I didn’t look up. “They’re all the same. Safe. Pretty, but common. None of them are enough to design the kind of ring I want for her.” Xavier smirked. “I thought you’d say that.” He held out his tablet. “Take a look at this.” Curious, I took the device from him. The screen loaded slowly, then revealed an article—an online news piece with a headline that caught my eye immediately: “THE RED BERYL GEM: THE ONCE-EXTINCT STONE THAT RETURNED TO AMERICA.”

Master Nandang only glanced at it once before his expression changed instantly. It really was Pomelo jade! "Master Nandang, what's wrong?" Seeing the sudden change in Nandang's expression, Zein and the others immediately became nervous. Could that kid's guess really be correct? Could they really be that unlucky? Master Nandang remained silent. Instead, Riza and the others saw a glimmer of hope. He quickly said, "Professor Lubis, please examine the jade as well!" Lubis didn't respond. He still hadn't recovered from his shock. Although he was standing some distance away, based on his experience, it was indeed Western Nephrite Pomelo jade.

"I borrowed it for my plate developments. It's nice to meet you, Elena. Where did you transfer from?" "Ohio," I said, lying through my teeth… it was for the best. "A country girl," Julian said, tilting his head slightly. "You don't look like you belong in a cornfield." "I don't," I said. "She's got better supplies than the faculty, Julian," Maya joked, pointing at my open crate on the floor. "Look at those oil tubes. That's pure lapis lazuli pigment in the blue jar." Julian leaned down, looking into the crate for a long second before looking back up at me.

While the ancestors had been specialists, Leela was the embodiment of the whole. As she stilled her breathing in the master suite, the muddy green of the toxin didn't just fade—it was forced out by a rising tide of colors that Northcott’s "quieting" formula couldn't suppress. Within the stone, four distinct lights began to swirl, merging into the breathtaking galaxy that was her signature: Sapphire for the depth of the Water. Ruby for the living spark of Fire. Emerald for the grounded strength of Earth. Pearl for the infinite reach of the Wind.

“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.”

Teardrop shaped emeralds adorned her earshells. "Do you like this necklace?" She hated those red rubies to the extent of glaring at Icarus to which he smiled and replied his voice getting huskier. "I have same thoughts as my queen and cannot seem to like it no matter how I look, I have brought something else for you." Rubies were replaced by sun gold sapphires that somewhat resembled the colour of Icarus's eyes making Lalya seemingly look at the male in hazed delusion. Was this his way of telling her that he shall from now he owned her?
