Shining Gem Novels & Stories

Sham relaxed and went back to his normal human self. "Gold, diamond, emerald, sapphire, pearl, you name it and of course SILVER" Adrian added. Sham took his time to look at every piece one by one as he hadn't seen this much treasure before. Having touched and observed every precious stone there, he paid full attention to the silver. It was shiny and grey! Who could have thought this pure thing could cause much harm. Unlike among the pack where silver didn't even exist, it was quite excess here and different objects were made from it. Adrian picked a silver gem and crushed it into powder with his fist.

Then, I use my element to seal the mountain again. I take her inside. The darkness of the cave not allowing her to see what is shining and glittering in the walls around us. I walk her to the center of the cavern, before looking up and using my element to open the top of the mountain. As I do, the sun shines inside, and the area lights up. Gold, silver, palladium, and other minerals begin glittering in the sunlight. Around them, gemstones begin shining and glittering casting multi-colored hues inside the volcano.

I began to read: “The secret to his power is the glow of a gem. It glows whenever it wishes and once it glows up to fifty times in Valon’s presence, the whole power would be invested in Valon forever. I do not know how many times that gem has glowed in his presence, but I hope you can find this letter sooner to seize the gem or destroy it.” I gaped at the revelation and I feared that it could have glowed so many times before we got back to this kingdom. No matter how many times it has glowed, I really hope it hasn’t glowed up to 50 times.

There is no doubt that the little boy will be the most popular and have a million little kids ready to claim him as his best friend. About an hour goes by of me laying there in complete silence as Gem heals me. She's been crying the whole time about everything going on, but when asked if she wanted to talk, she told me she just needed a good cry. So I just let her do her thing. I should be about complete healing but will shift back when she's ready. Until she's, let the sadness go, at least.

Jane swallowed before continuing. The combined blood was used to create a gem. Not a stone in the way people imagined, but a condensed core of living energy, self stabilizing, adaptive, sentient in a way that made my skin crawl. A gem designed to resonate with every species at once. A singular point of authority. A thing that could command blood because it understood all blood. A gem that could control every other creature. Even humans. My fingers twitched uselessly against the mattress. Jane’s voice grew quieter as she read the next part.

said him. I smiled, as I looked at the necklace with the gem in the shape of a red heart. "It's so beautiful." "Um, wait." Ozgur clapped his hands, causing the lights to go out suddenly. He then turned on the dim light next to us. He took my hand and pointed the jeweled pendulum under the lamp. At that moment, I was surprised by the reflection of the photo that came out of the gem's pendulum.

Maxiana The pebble-like gem’s glisten in the starlight, like always. I sit on the beach where still, star filled water reflects… nothing. It’s so quiet today. I’ve seen no more doors, nor had more visions, for Goddess knows how long. I toss a gem into the water where it bounces, creating little ripples that stretch the stars reflected on its surface. I grab a handful and lean forward, letting the gems fall between my fingers, creating little waves in the otherwise smooth-as-glass liquid. My reflection is shadowed, nothing more than a halo of starlight around my face and head.

she said, clicking to the next slide. The image shifted to a close-up of a necklace, the central gem glowing with layered hues that transitioned beautifully from deep twilight tones to soft morning light. “This gem represents a pair of lovers being together from dusk till dawn.” She paused just long enough to let the meaning sink in, her eyes briefly scanning the faces seated before her. There was satisfaction in the way she held herself, as though she had already won their approval. Sandra swallowed beside Tessa, her fingers tightening in her lap.

“The most temperamental stone on the planet.” Jenny gasped. “Wait, the electric-blue one?” “Yes,” I said tightly. “The one that fractures under high heat and changes color if you so much as look at it wrong.” Grace let out a low whistle. “They’re giving us a gemstone that’s basically a ticking bomb.” “Great,” Gideon muttered. “Because what we really needed this year was a metaphor for emotional instability.” I shot him a glare. He winked. Ryan skimmed the letter, then looked up, meeting my eyes.

he said, his voice tinged with cautious optimism. I felt a rush of disbelief and excitement at his words, my mind racing with possibilities. "How?" I asked eagerly, leaning in closer to catch every word. The shaman's lips quirked into a small smile, as if he could sense my eagerness. "It involves a rare gemstone," he explained, his voice low and mysterious. "A Blood Ruby, forged from the frozen blood of a witch." My eyes widened in astonishment at the mention of such a mystical artifact. "A Blood Ruby?" I repeated, barely able to contain my excitement. "Where can I find one?"
