|||
|- |
|||
| scope="row" role="rowheader" | a berry pink lace agate || Layer upon layer in shades of pink -- pale blush, rose, magenta, strawberry, and raspberry -- this gem has been formed, a slice cut from a bigger whole. The edge is rimed with a fine smattering of crystals, ranging in size from the smallest grain of sugar to pea-sized cubes, all in the same roseate hues as those within the inner circle. |
|||
|- |
|||
| scope="row" role="rowheader" | a fiery-veined cobalt fox agate || The fractured half of a larger stone split in twain, this agate is edged in variegated bands of black and pale, dusty blue that darken into cells of cobalt separated by indigo walls. In amidst the various shades of blue are distinct cracks in the gem, fissures that stretch in random measures, but invariably always in a fiery shade of orange that fades out to fuchsia as the edges blend with their cool-toned surroundings. |
|||
|- |
|||
| scope="row" role="rowheader" | a misshapen sunset crater agate || Edged in crystals with the duskiest tinting of a twilight sky, the inner layer is warm, shifting from pale indigo to violet, a temperate rouge to golden orange. The internal crater is unevenly shapen, and the colors trail inward from those jagged edges into orbs that grow and recede within like the hills of a lazy line of hills and valleys, colored with the spectrum of an autumnal sunset. |
|||
|- |
|||
| scope="row" role="rowheader" | an umber-orbed ebony fox agate || Like a geode split in twain, the outer edge of this agate is craggy with crystalline formations that surround a smooth, solid ebony layer that, in turn, encapsulates orbular formations of a deep, umber hue. The orange coloring is made more subdued by a sheen of grey crystals, as fine as confectioner's sugar, that defines the curvatures of each orb within. |

| scope="row" role="rowheader" | a shard of dark pink-on-violet alexandrite || As if having been shorn from a larger piece by a significant force, this shard of alexandrite is as thin as a piece of glass and similarly translucent. The effect is reminiscent of stained glass, with the darker pink shading transitioning seamlessly to violet through all the shades between. |

| scope="row" role="rowheader" | a blush-hearted violet dusk opal || With a color like that of a dusk sky just after the sun has dipped below the horizon, the opal is a wan, greyish violet, with flecks of deeper purple strewn throughout. At the heart of the gem is a blossom of blush inclusions clustered together, and when the light hits the gem just so, that core flares to life in shades of rose and amaranth, flush with a warm iridescence amid the twilight. |
|||
|- |
|||
| scope="row" role="rowheader" | an oval of black lightning opal || The very thin border at the edge of this gemstone is largely clear, with only minor reflective inclusions that flash under any touch of light. Deeper and engulfing the gem's heart is a black cloud of distortion, dark and foreboding like a summer thunderstorm. Woven through the miasma and above it, somewhere between the bulk of the cloud and the gem's crystalline edges, is a brilliant blue layer, diffuse but cutting through the black heart with its sapphire-hued inclusions. The effect is like holding a lightning storm in the palm of one's hand. |

| scope="row" role="rowheader" | a particolored astral sapphire || Though uncut and rough, the sapphire is no less striking for the coarseness of its outward appearance. Its inner coloring ranges from a crystalline clear blue to violet, then into crimson, russet, and yellow. Within, subtle clusters of rutiles spark in the gem's depths, creating a starscape one can hold in the palm of a hand. |
|||
|- |
|||
| scope="row" role="rowheader" | an ebon-clouded crimson phantom sapphire || Curiously orb-shaped and flawlessly smooth, the sapphire might be mistaken for one hewn by the most skilled hands of a master jeweler, but somehow merely holding the gem gives the impression otherwise. Or, perhaps it is the reflection seen within the crimson depths of the stone that alters perception as it rises like a wending cloud of ebon smoke from the gem's heart to press itself against the interior barrier, a ghoulish face that distorts in a silent, phantom scream. |

A
Agate
Name Description a berry pink lace agate Layer upon layer in shades of pink -- pale blush, rose, magenta, strawberry, and raspberry -- this gem has been formed, a slice cut from a bigger whole. The edge is rimed with a fine smattering of crystals, ranging in size from the smallest grain of sugar to pea-sized cubes, all in the same roseate hues as those within the inner circle. a fiery-veined cobalt fox agate The fractured half of a larger stone split in twain, this agate is edged in variegated bands of black and pale, dusty blue that darken into cells of cobalt separated by indigo walls. In amidst the various shades of blue are distinct cracks in the gem, fissures that stretch in random measures, but invariably always in a fiery shade of orange that fades out to fuchsia as the edges blend with their cool-toned surroundings. a misshapen sunset crater agate Edged in crystals with the duskiest tinting of a twilight sky, the inner layer is warm, shifting from pale indigo to violet, a temperate rouge to golden orange. The internal crater is unevenly shapen, and the colors trail inward from those jagged edges into orbs that grow and recede within like the hills of a lazy line of hills and valleys, colored with the spectrum of an autumnal sunset. an umber-orbed ebony fox agate Like a geode split in twain, the outer edge of this agate is craggy with crystalline formations that surround a smooth, solid ebony layer that, in turn, encapsulates orbular formations of a deep, umber hue. The orange coloring is made more subdued by a sheen of grey crystals, as fine as confectioner's sugar, that defines the curvatures of each orb within.
Alexandrite
Name Description a shard of dark pink-on-violet alexandrite As if having been shorn from a larger piece by a significant force, this shard of alexandrite is as thin as a piece of glass and similarly translucent. The effect is reminiscent of stained glass, with the darker pink shading transitioning seamlessly to violet through all the shades between.
Amethyst
Name Description a crystallized dark grape amethyst Varying shades of purple span the bumpy surface of this gemstone, which is composed entirely of pea-sized orbs of crystal-dusted amethyst. Like a cluster of grapes, each tiny round sits close to the next, fused together within a base that rises to craggy edges, protecting the cluster from damage.
Arcrose
Name Description a hyacinth violet opal arcrose Clearly some manner of opal, identifiable due to its prismatic inclusions, this stone is a rich, hyacinth violet in hue primarily, with flashes of azure and magenta that flare when caught by the light.

Crystal
Name Description a rutilated rainbow crystal The majority of the crystal itself is smooth and flawlessly clear, with no milkiness or distortion, only the transparent perfection of glass. Rather than marring the integrity of the gem, the thin rutiles that run in chaotic angles through the stone only enhance its beauty as each displays a perfect rainbow of color along its length.
D
Dreamstone
Name Description a slice of grey requiem dreamstone A cross sectioned slice of a larger whole, this piece of starstone is grey in hue, with dark green banding that extends from its edges to the core. Due to the refractive nature of the bands, when caught in the light, the stone throws back the distorted visage of a pair of wings, flared wide.
E
Everine
Name Description a cobalt-laced deep magenta everine Tiny crystals as fine as sugar coat the outer surface of the everine, while a bore hole directly in the center leads in smooth coils patterned with a cobalt lace design to the gem's heart. Deep magenta backs the spiral downward, a vibrant tempest that darkens into a heart as black as pitch. a crimson-hazed silvery green everine Tiny crimson crystals as fine as sugar coat the outer surface of the everine, giving the gem a sanguinous cast while a bore hole directly in the center leads in smooth green coils to the gem's heart.

F
Fluorite
Name Description an indigo-cored ultramarine fluorite With a texture like a bundle of individual spears fused together, the fluorite is ridged on its sides, while the shorn top and bottom remain smooth to the touch. The predominant color of the stone is ultramarine, a deep and dark shade of blue so brilliant as to rival the purest of any sapphire. Buried deep within its core, a few shards of indigo lie, appearing somewhat purple next to the true coloring found in the rest of the stone.
J
Jasper
Name Description a pillar of honeycomb jasper Triangular in shape, the smooth sides of the pillar rise in shades of brown, gold, and yellow toward an uneven peak. Hexagonal cells outlined in a dark sepia hue and filled with rich saffron, much like a honeycomb, adorn the jasper, joined by thin lines of iridescent gold that accent the border of each segment.
M
Malachite
Name Description some raw green velvet malachite Irregular in shape and size, ranging from an almost rounded, bulbous end to a thin, tapered point at the other, the malachite appears to be so many layers of brilliant green velvet laid one over the other. Though certainly not soft to the touch, the composition of the gem presents a countenance as soft and lush as long pile velvet.
O
Obsidian
Name Description a shard of gold-webbed red obsidian Cardinal-hued from end to end and throughout the entirety, the rippled shard of obsidian is a contrast of both smooth planes and sharp edges. Along each rising ridge is a thread-thin line of gold, connecting each ripple to the next and creating a gilded web among the bright, nearly blood-hued shade of the volcanic glass.
O
Onyx
Name Description a chunk of abyssal onyx While onyx typically possesses a glossy but strictly black coloring, this particular specimen has in place of its normal polished appearance a veneer of grey and silver that can only be seen when struck just so by the light. Tilted off-center, the ebony hue of the stone whorls beneath a tempest of grey and silver that draws the eye toward the dark depths of the stone.
Opal
Name Description a blush-hearted violet dusk opal With a color like that of a dusk sky just after the sun has dipped below the horizon, the opal is a wan, greyish violet, with flecks of deeper purple strewn throughout. At the heart of the gem is a blossom of blush inclusions clustered together, and when the light hits the gem just so, that core flares to life in shades of rose and amaranth, flush with a warm iridescence amid the twilight. an oval of black lightning opal The very thin border at the edge of this gemstone is largely clear, with only minor reflective inclusions that flash under any touch of light. Deeper and engulfing the gem's heart is a black cloud of distortion, dark and foreboding like a summer thunderstorm. Woven through the miasma and above it, somewhere between the bulk of the cloud and the gem's crystalline edges, is a brilliant blue layer, diffuse but cutting through the black heart with its sapphire-hued inclusions. The effect is like holding a lightning storm in the palm of one's hand.
R
Rosette
Name Description a full-petaled azurite rosette Though each roughly formed petal is sharp about the edges, there is a certain elegance to the curves and dips each uniquely possesses, all tapering to a coiled center that distinctly resembles the coils of a half-opened rosebud. The azurite is rich in its true blue pigmentation and lustrous as it throws back light in an array of similar hues.
S
Sapphire
Name Description a particolored astral sapphire Though uncut and rough, the sapphire is no less striking for the coarseness of its outward appearance. Its inner coloring ranges from a crystalline clear blue to violet, then into crimson, russet, and yellow. Within, subtle clusters of rutiles spark in the gem's depths, creating a starscape one can hold in the palm of a hand. an ebon-clouded crimson phantom sapphire Curiously orb-shaped and flawlessly smooth, the sapphire might be mistaken for one hewn by the most skilled hands of a master jeweler, but somehow merely holding the gem gives the impression otherwise. Or, perhaps it is the reflection seen within the crimson depths of the stone that alters perception as it rises like a wending cloud of ebon smoke from the gem's heart to press itself against the interior barrier, a ghoulish face that distorts in a silent, phantom scream.
Scolecite
Name Description a spray of lustrous white scolecite Pearlescent, lightly banded spears of scolecite erupt in an outward spray from a dense base that is stout and chalky in contrast. The spears, like needles, stand sharply in all directions, lovely but daring to touch as each spiny tip is variably sharp and in equal parts dangerous and beautiful.
Scoria
Name Description an argent crystal-studded scoria Pierced through with myriad vesicular cavities, the scoria is murky dark green in hue, with tiny bands of angular, argent-hued crystals lining the crevices of this volcanic stone. It is surprisingly light in weight, as though it bears a great many holes, and the stone itself is incredibly hard and rough to the touch. a crystal-rife pitch black scoria Pierced through with myriad vesicular cavities, the scoria is pitch black in hue, with tiny bands of angular crystals lining the crevices of this volcanic stone. It is surprisingly light in weight, as though it bears a great many holes, and the stone itself is incredibly hard and rough to the touch. a piece of pitted grey scoria Pierced through with myriad vesicular cavities, the scoria is soot grey in hue, with tiny bands of angular crystals lining the crevices of this volcanic stone. It is surprisingly light in weight, as though it bears a great many holes, and the stone itself is incredibly hard and rough to the touch. a ruby crystal-strewn scoria Pierced through with myriad vesicular cavities, the scoria is deep blood red in hue, with tiny bands of angular, ruby-hued crystals lining the crevices of this volcanic stone. It is surprisingly light in weight, as though it bears a great many holes, and the stone itself is incredibly hard and rough to the touch.
Soulstone
Name Description an ether-warped lavender soulstone Though perfectly spherical and smooth, the pale lavender interior of this soulstone appears warped; the striations natural to the gem are contorted and bent into an insoluble maze of twists and turns. Even the coloring is distorted, straying into hues of indigo and violet where the patterns curve. an ether-warped virid soulstone Though perfectly spherical and smooth, the virid interior of this soulstone appears warped; the striations natural to the gem are contorted and bent into an insoluble maze of twists and turns. Even the coloring is distorted, straying into hues of cerulean and dark emerald where the patterns curve. a spectral dark silver soulstone Though perfectly spherical and smooth, the dark silver interior of this soulstone appears warped; the striations natural to the gem are contorted and bent into an insoluble maze of twists and turns.

Even the coloring is distorted, straying into hues of purple and azure where the patterns curve.
Starstone
Name Description a slice of ebony requiem starstone A cross sectioned slice of a larger whole, this piece of starstone is ebony in hue, with silvery white banding that extends from its edges to the core. Due to the refractive nature of the bands, when caught in the light, the stone throws back the distorted visage of a pair of wings, flared wide.
Stone
Name Description an iridescent geode druzy stone The outer layers of the stone are an iridescent white, like opal or moonstone, with flares of blue, purple, and pink strewn throughout. At the center of the open geode is a crystalline structure of much the same color as the outer layers. Separating the two are bands of vibrant violet and indigo, rippling out in uneven waves until they blend into the surrounding iridescence.
Sunstone
Name Description a slice of golden requiem sunstone A cross sectioned slice of a larger whole, this piece of starstone is golden in hue, with crimson banding that extends from its edges to the core. Due to the refractive nature of the bands, when caught in the light, the stone throws back the distorted visage of a pair of wings, flared wide.
