Peridot Crystal Gems Novels & Stories

"Ah, your usual gifts of courting – dirty weeds. However shall I resist your enterprising heart?" "Wait, there's more – look at this! A jewel for the finest of women, plucked from horrific Queen Jarngrimr of the Sorrow's dwarven mines themselves! See how it sparkles just so in the moonlight like an unparalleled Periland diamond, this most precious of gems?" I took Yolanda's fine burnished red bronze colored hand and gave her a shiny amethyst raw of the making that I had found in the woods while out a hunting. It fit into the shell of Yolanda's soft, red clay toned palm like a stone fruit plucked ripe and tempting from father's greenhouse.

"You have nothing to fear from us. How about we go inside, have some tea? We can talk." Kaida followed the women around the side of the house and through the garden. A walking path with crushed shells and stepping stones led the way. Benches were strategically placed on trails, interwoven like a maze, inviting visitors to stay. Relax. Explore. Crystals in varying shades and tones dripped from twine hanging from trellises. Purple amethyst. Rose quartz. Yellow citrine. Blue apatite. Black agate. Aquamarine fuchsite. Red jasper. And those were the ones she recognized. Through a lattice arch above, lavender blooms from beach pea vines crept through the openings.

Elana held the necklace in her palm. She held it up. The pearlescent gem, a rough, unpolished stone. It was dark, a swirling mix of deep moss green and slat gray, looking less like a jewel and more like a piece of the mountain itself. “This,” Elana announced, “is an Earthstone.”

Removing it, I put in another code and let the locks disengage from the door, loving the sound of the whooshing the door made as it opened. “Honey, I’m home!” I called out to my hoard, smiling at my little babies. Lights took a second to flicker on as my secret stash was lit up, the gems I had gathered throughout my life of crime all displayed in their neat little cubbies with their own simple display. I went over between a peridot that was thirty eight carats, and an opal nearly the size of my fist at one hundred and fifty carats.

I might as well go over. As I got closer, I realised it was not really a rock, more like a large gemstone. Except, it was like none I had ever seen before. My mum and dad had owned a jewellery store, and despite being young, I still remembered the precious gems that had embedded the various items. Rubies, emeralds, diamonds, sapphires…every one you could think of. But this didn’t look like any of them. In a way it was almost indescribable, appearing reflect every colour of the rainbow back at you, similar to a prism.

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.

Just as Ensley and Esther were about to make fun of Harvey, an expert trembled and said, “It’s here! It’s here! It’s a crystal jade!” “A sapphire!” “Oh my god! It’s a nephrite!” “This is a red beryl!” “It’s an alexandrite!” The experts were shocked, and hurriedly picked up the pace. Every single one of the stones was soon revealed to be extremely valuable.

she encourages, bubbling with excitement. I chuckle and eagerly take the necklace out of the box, then clasp it around my neck. “How does it look on me?” I ask, modelling the necklace proudly. “Gorgeous, of course! It compliments your skin perfectly,” she gushes. I smile, touching the pendant as my heart swells from Invidia’s kindness. “What kind of stone is this?” “Labradorite. Said to impart strength and perseverance.” I snort dryly, “I could definitely use some of that.”

Judging from what he said, he wanted to purchase more than one piece, which made him a big client. Not daring to delay at all, she brought the two over to the display area of the clear and cream-clear jadeites. "Sir, these are clear jadeites and these are cream-clear jadeites," she introduced. While she proceeded to explain each piece, Leon glanced at the cabinets before him. Apart from a few clear jadeites, there were even jewelry pieces made from imperial green and imperial purple amethyst. "These pieces aren't so bad!" Leon focused on the imperial green and imperial purple amethyst.

“Although the color is unusually uniform. Real emeralds rarely appear that consistent. Natural stones typically show variation in tone and depth.” A quiet shift moved through the surrounding guests as attention sharpened. “It is synthetic,” Vincenzo added calmly. “At best, heavily treated. Possibly lab-created.” Adelina’s face stiffened immediately. “That is impossible. It was purchased from a reputable antique house with full certification.” “Certificates can be acquired,” Vincenzo replied simply. Tiziana opened her mouth slightly, instinctively drawn to defend it, but stopped herself before a single word escaped. The explanation had already been made too clearly.
