Peridot Pearl Novels & Stories

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.”

"That's the ultimate mating gift among werewolves! The only one in the world! Moonstone meteorite is a thousand times rarer than diamonds, and the core was the size of a fist! You'll probably never even see one in your lifetime." Then, Jenna froze. Her eyes locked on my chest. All the color drained from her face. "What… what is that?" she stammered, her finger trembling as she pointed at me. Everyone followed her gaze to my chest. At the collar of my simple white shirt, a delicate platinum chain was barely visible. On it hung a fist-sized pendant, glowing with a faint, silvery-blue light. It was the unique glow of a moonstone meteorite. The surface of the pendant was carved with intricate ru

"The kindergarten has spent two years educating your kid. Is it really too much to ask for a little help?" "Your Green Jewel is probably just a knockoff variety at best. How good could it possibly be? Five dollars a pound might sound low, but we're buying in bulk!" I bit my lip hard. So, selling off my pears for dirt cheap when they were over 100 dollars a pound was their idea of "helping out"? "My family's Green Jewel has a heritage of over 300 years. It's not a knockoff, and the price is far more than five dollars a pound. Besides, the annual yield is extremely limited, so there really aren't any left to sell. I hope everyone can understand."

The maids draped her curls up with pearl pins. She barely recognized her reflection in the mirror. "This isn't what I'm used to," she said, brushing the pearls with her fingertips. "Pearls are prized in Ipsit," Olivia said. "These are part of the king's crown jewels." Violet's skin crawled at that news. She hated being so close to him. "I'm sure King Curzon has acquired many new treasures from the kingdoms he's decimated." Hestia shook her head, finishing hanging the other dresses. "No, pearls are sacred. The only gem born of a living creature's pain. Ipsit's royal family has collected them for generations."

It probably wouldn't have been ideal for anyone else, and hell, Nikki may hate me for not making more of a production out of it, but either way, I stuck my hand into my pocket. She focused on our son, yet I knew the moment she saw the diamond that glittered in the white-gold setting. I heard the gasp seconds before she moved her fingers to her mouth. When she pulled back enough for me to see her eyes, radiant blues and deep greys feathered from her pupils, and tears pooled, threatening to cascade down her cheeks. I hated to see her cry, but this was when she was the most beautiful...when she was vulnerable.

he asked, surprising him. “A ruby necklace.” the prince answered quietly. The judge chuckled. “I am sure she had many ruby necklaces, I don't see why she would steal one.” “Exactly!” the parents nodded. Taegen didn't share the same opinion. When he saw the Prince pressing the red stone, nervousness and sadness showing on his face, he knew that the necklace should be precious enough for the fairy to steal it. It must be something really special and powerful. “That's enough for today.” the judge sighed heavily. “We need to investigate more on this case.”

The shiny blue pearl fell on his palm and a look of astonishment could be seen on his face. “The Pearl of Sorrelia! At last!” Dalik said. He held the pearl between his thumb and index finger, turning it over and examining its smooth surface. “You’re right, Thunka. This is a thing of beauty. I’m sure Emperor Terdu will be very happy to see this when I personally bring this to him.” Thunka hardly moved her head as she prostrated herself in front of Dalik. “You may go,” said Dalik, waving Thunka away.

However, it wasn’t the same as to what I'm seeing now. There was a boy. I can’t recognize his face because of the weird blurry effect of the dream. The only thing I saw clearly were his eyes. His emerald-colored eyes are still engraved in my mind. Even though it’s already been a year since I last dreamt of it, I still can’t forget his eyes. The scenes may be different to what I'm seeing now, but they were both peculiar and still not on earth.

"I know you don’t wear it while working in the lab, but as your elder, it’s only proper that I give you a gift." Tina thought for a moment, then pointed at the pearl set. "I’ll take this one, then. It’s simpler than the others." Marsha nodded, her smile warm. "The pearls are soft and elegant. They are perfect for you. This set was passed down to me by my mother-in-law. They’re South Sea saltwater pearls. Natural ones of this size are rare these days." Then she turned to me with that same gentle expression. "Eve, which set do you like?"

I didn't have time to appreciate the cuteness of the animal when my head feels like it was about to burst! Lala, the pink dolphin carefully kept my pearl inside her mouth and saw as fast as she could but suddenly, the blue sea turned red with blood as the hunters aimed at the rare specie. She was hit thrice on her body and cried for help but nobody heard. Upon catching the dolphin, they sliced its body into half and discovered a rare purple pearl on its stomach---it was my pearl. It was sold at a very high price in the market and unfortunately, as time passed by, a man gave it to Princess Aria, daughter of Empress Diane, as a gift. "SHIIIIIIIIITTTT!!!" I screamed at the top of my lungs from
