Peridot Lapis Novels & Stories

The master turned to Alina sharply, literally typing the words: - Lucia Mancini decided, Alina, that you will make this decoration for her, and that's it. You agree a priori, you understand? Yes, tomorrow it will be known that the countess ordered from you, you understand, you personally have a set of such rare and beautiful stones. Have you noticed, but many ladies actively turn their heads, wanting to see your jewelry? I myself had not seen such lapis lazuli before, although I was not particularly interested in the varieties of this stone. Indeed, where did you get such a beautiful lapis lazuli?

I was definitely dreaming, I decide. I gaze down at it, seeing a passage of small font, and a slightly faded picture...Of Casper. He sits on a throne, almost lounging on it. Somehow, he looks younger, more youthful and carefree. A golden crown is placed upon his head, bejeweled with glittering diamonds, rubies and jade. A cloak of red velvet draped across his shoulders. He looks like pure royalty. "That is Jasper two days before he was meant to be named as Alpha. A day before he disappeared," June tells me.

Had no one ever told her she was breathtaking? "I know you all have work to do." Pearl said in her innocent way. "Tell me, Hope, when is your birthday?" The little devil, I knew what she was up to. Hope looked confused, but she answered anyway. "August 30th." "On my that's the peridot, it's a beautiful stone." Pearl said to Hope but was looking at me. I would play my part. "What color is that?" I asked nonchalantly. "Oh, it's a light green sort of mint." Pearl offered.

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.

"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."

The stone was cut into two halves. There was dead silence in the place. Three seconds later... "Oh my!" Someone shouted, and no word could express the onlookers' feelings better than these two words. ... The onlookers saw a palm-sized part of the stone was green. "It's jade..." "It's in mild and refreshing green with high transparency." "It's a Secondary Deposit Jadeite." "Oh my God! What have I seen? A Secondary Deposit Jadeite! The price will go much higher..." An uproar broke out in the venue like a ladle of water was poured into boiling oil.

The chain of the pendant was also made of rose gold. “Wow! This is so pretty” said Lily with her eyes wide open and then a sweet smile curved on her lips. “Not more than you, Love” replied Nick smiling while looking at her admirably. “This is the rare Pink Sapphire, right?” asked Lily in a muddled tone and Nick nodded and stroked her hair. “How did you get one?” asked Lily in a curious tone. “I have good connections” replied Nick with a wink. “I belong to Dark Sapphire pack not Pink Sapphire” said Lily with narrowed eyes.

The Barbaresco wine was worldwide and cost thousands of euros. Besides the wine, there was also a red velvet box, which, when opened, immediately revealed a beautiful emerald-colored stone. Luigi’s eyes lit up slightly. “Is this the rare Imperial Jadeite?” “That’s right.” Nicolo nodded. Luigi raised one eyebrow. Imperial Jadeite originated from Myanmar. Nicolo chose to give him that there must have been a purpose. “Myanmar... Burma...” Luigi muttered while observing the Imperial Jadeite in his hand. “Could it be that you want to give me the poppy fields there?”

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.
