Novel & Cerita Steven Universe Lapis Lazuli Gem

"This is what you were crying for last night." I blushed, embarrassed. Finally, my eyes landed on a set of sapphire jewelry. It was a necklace that flowed like a river of stars. Each sapphire was like a miniature planet, and the main stone in the center was as deep and profound as the eye of the universe. "This one." Kael raised an eyebrow, picked up the necklace, and personally fastened it around my neck. The cool gems rested against my skin, and his warm fingertips brushed the nape of my neck, sending a shiver through me.

"Over here." Both he and Ursula immediately ran over to Leonard, who was standing in front of a booth at the end of the room, on the steps. Somewhat cautiously, Leonard opened the chamber, releasing a green gem with an energy flow similar to Daniel's, but stronger. Up close, he felt the jewel the size of Leonard's palm throbbing in Leonard's hand. It was moving like a lived heart, with a weak thumping sound. His hand moved automatically, trying to touch it, but Leonard slapped his hand away immediately, taking him by surprise. "I told you, don't touch!"

Three ring designs were displayed: a pale blue oval sapphire flanked by baguette diamonds, a light yellow marquise set in rose gold, and lastly, a large colorless brilliant cut surrounded by a halo as delicate as morning dew. “This sapphire is rare,” Valeria said softly, pushing the box forward. “But Mr. Cassilas requested something that ‘captures the breath of the future.’” “The breath of the future?” I repeated, looking at Hugo. He simply shrugged. “Sapphire brings calm, diamonds carry eternity. But I want you to wear a sparkle that shifts with the light. Like you—impossible to pin down,” he said. Valeria brought out another small box: a long alexandrite stone that changed between green an

The gemstones, carefully designed into exquisite cuts and shapes, glimmered like captured fragments of nature's most vibrant hues. At the center of the necklace, a large emerald pendant adorned with intricate engravings caught her attention. The stone, shaped like a big wolfberry, possessed a mesmerizing depth that seemed to draw in the surrounding light. Its rich green hues, ranging from the vibrant shades of new growth to the deep tones of ancient forests, held within them the promise of growth, renewal, and the enduring strength of love.

The way her eyes sparkled and became wide, the intent staring, and even the subtle moving of her lips like a fish gaping… It was all too cute. "I'm glad your highness seems to like it." Alesteria turned her head as her eyes widened, eyes gleaming in delight. 'Like it? I absolutely love it!' Although lazurite is not very rare, it is a valuable gift for her because she used to explore with it and test its limits that no mortal has ever understood. 'Good thing that I had a lazurite gem before so I know how this thing works. It will be a great fit along with the branch they gave me.'

“My hand slipped.” The hall went silent. Alpha Joe stepped forward, voice low. “Alpha Stephen, that was unnecessary.” I tilted my head. “Was it?” I turned to Luna Linda, eyes settling on the sapphire necklace she wore. “That’s a beautiful piece,” I said. “pack heirloom, isn’t it?” Luna Linda’s fingers curled protectively over the pendant. “Foster bloodline sapphires. Rare and priceless.” “Hmm.” I reached forward, held the gem between my fingers, and twisted it slightly.

So familiar, but exotic in a way I couldn't even begin to explain. I just stood, staring out the door like an absolute idiot, taking in the God at my doorstep. I couldn't take my eyes off his own. A deep-set swirling violet tinted with the darkest ebony black was confined to the irises of his eyes. It almost trapped me, like hands made from the illusory magic that seemed to pull me in.

And what about the rare gemstone that had been specifically requested? She hadn’t secured a single one. The weight of regret and panic crushed her. Steven and the other members of Fox Gemworks were equally stunned. This was beyond anything they could have imagined. Not a single gemstone had been revealed from over two thousand stones. Even with pure luck, they should’ve managed to get at least a few, right? What was this? A complete loss? Wasn’t Sarina supposed to be the best? Wasn’t she the one who could tell if a stone contained a gemstone just by touching it?

Stanford really had an eye for rare pieces—her eyes sparkled as she examined the stones. “What do you think, Seb?” she asked him. I looked at Sebastian, who was still staring at me and ignoring Stanford completely. I glared at him, worried she might catch him looking at me. I didn’t want to lose a client for something this ridiculous. He simply curled his lip into a smirk before turning to Stanford, who was now occupied with another gemstone. “This one’s better.” He picked up the red beryl and held it near Stanford’s neck. “Don’t you think so, sister?”

A few drops of blood dripped into a porcelain dish. Bowen then pulled out a packet of powder and sprinkled it into the dish. Instantly, the blood turned a purplish-black. His brows furrowed deeply. "Veilroot Bloom. This is a poison so rare that it hasn't been seen in a century. It's colorless, odorless, and slow-acting." Shocked and furious, I asked, "Where did this poison even come from?" "The plant grows deep in the mountains, and people generally can't get their hands on it."
