prompt; mark loves gemstones because they remind him that, despite the shortcomings of humanity, there is still beauty on this small little planet. happiness can be hard to find in the midst of all the sadness, and can even be quite rare at times, just as gemstones are. however difficult they are to find, they're always there: nestled snugly into a crevice in a cave, perhaps, or hidden in the blurry depths of a crystalline pool, or maybe pushed deep into the core of the earth. he collects them for the same reason he has a list of happy thoughts: they comfort him, and keep him company. his absolute favorite is a shard of ethiopian opal he has. in his opinion, it's the most interesting one to look at. he enjoys watching the colors shift in the sunlight.

"Rocks, stones, gems. They're everywhere and yet most people never pay them any mind. Sure, they can look pretty and some go for quite the penny, but I believe their true beauty lies in the many meanings they hold. For instance, did you know that they can be used in a form of crystal healing therapy to draw out the bodies negative energy? Some people even use them alongside or as a replacement for medicines. One of which being Lapis Lazuli as it's said to soothe inflamed joints and muscles."

"Certain colored gemstones, or types also represent your seven main chakra, or life forces. Clear quartz being the most versatile in this subject. If you wanted to know which worked best then a quick run down would be this. White for the Soul star chakra, violet and white - Crown chakra, purple and indigo - Third eye chakra, blue - Throat chakra, pink and turquoise - Thymus or Higher heart chakra, green and pink - Heart chakra, yellow - Solar plexus chakra, orange - Navel or Sacral chakra, red and black - Root or Base chakra, lastly black and brown - Earth star or Earth chakra. Sorry about that I tend to lose myself when I start talking about these things."

"When it comes to gems with meanings we come to my personal favorite. Kunzite is a pale purple gem that is both beautiful cut and uncut. Its said to support calmness, good fortune, and spiritual equilibrium. It's also said to help with... ha. Finding your true love. Please don't laugh I just really care about this kind of thing and no I'm not going into it. She might be nearby..."

"I hope my rambling hasn't put you off on learning more about these stones. They are truly wonderful and I wish you will think so as well."

She could feel the vibrations in the cave.
As she made her way calmly in the darkness, some small spots on the cave's walls started faintly glowing, and as the kalon got closer to them their glow became even stronger.
The green glow of the gem in front of her was bright as Perone grabbed it and took it out of the wall, carefully so to not break it. The kalon observed it; to her delight, it was a peridot! Her favorite type of gem since she was a child...
She could vividly remember getting her necklace from her first and dearest friend of hers a couple of years ago; Perone had no friends due to her shy nature, but when she met this new kalon, Perone knew she found a great help. The kalon showed her his love for minerals and gems, and the magic that hides inside them; that's when they discovered that, for some reason, all the gems in the boy's collection reacted to Perone's prescence.
Showing a great newfound interest in them, Perone wanted to learn more and more about these weird and colorful crystals and to her delight, her new friend was happy to teach her everything he knew!
She felt the sweet feeling of nostalgia get her as she observed the small olive gem. She placed a paw on the gem on her necklace. The first gem she ever got from her friend, a peridot that she grew quite attached to.
She was smiling.
"Perone! Are you comin' or what? I found something bigger this time!" A voice said just as she was about to space out.
"Huh- Oh yeah, I'm on my way, Deo!"
She stashed the gem and went to catch up with his friend.

Roxanne shuffled down the cramped avenue, pushing people aside just to travel a few feet. She lived in a large city, populated with tons of citizens. This meant she was an insignificant speck in a sea of people. Roxanne would visualize herself like a gemstone, lost in the soil beneath everyone's feet.

Roxanne had began to daydream, becoming absorbed in her own thoughts. A forceful shove quickly snapped her out of it, sending her to the concrete. Roxanne scanned the crowd, trying to pinpoint who had pushed her. With no luck, she began to stand, but a red dazzle caught her eye. Curiosity pulled her in, and Roxanne stretched out her arms, attempting to grasp whatever the glimmer could be. Dodging legs, Roxanne finally gripped what it was. She stood, gazing down at what she had discovered. There sat a ring, coated in silver and topped with a striking, blood-red garnet.

Roxanne observed the crowd, trying to see if anyone appeared to be searching for something they dropped. Surprisingly, everyone seemed to be carrying on with whatever they had been doing before. Roxanne fixated her gaze back to the ring, specifically the garnet on it. Was this meant to be? Roxanne wondered. Is this the gemstone lost in the crowd? Roxanne never imagined comparing herself to a ring, but that was what was happening.

Roxanne slid the ring on, and continued on with her day. (235 words)

gender; Male
prompt; Akai has loved all things geology related for as long as he can remember. He could go on for hours about how much he likes various gems though he has a hard time saying an exact reason why he likes them, claiming its mostly because of a curiosity that he feels deep within his soul. Whenever asked if he has a favorite he always goes through a number of gems that he very much likes but rarely mentions a single one that he claims as a favorite saying that there are too many cool ones to just choose one. However, he does have a favorite gem, a specific stone that he loves so dearly that he is never without it, this gem is a stone that greatly resembles a fire opal. He adores how it looks, its vibrant orange color, which is his favorite color, and how it somewhat shifts between a rainbow of others it looks like a small ball of fire in his hand or his favorite comparison of a little window to a brightly burning faraway galaxy. But he loves it for another reason, he has had it longer than any other stone he has, in fact, he can't remember not having it. This is because it is the only thing he has from his true home planet. Akai barely remembers such and only knows because of his parents, the ones who found him after he crashed on their planet, told him the story of his origin. In the rubble of a crashed ship pod, they found a tiny kit wrapped up in a handmade blanket and the only other item with him was the gem. The gem looks like a normal fire opal, but brighter and it seems to always be somewhat hot to the touch.

“Be very careful with it,” her father warned as he placed the sparkling gem in Kaylee’s paws. “It’s very rare.”
Kaylee widened her eyes, examining the gem he had given her. It’s cool surface felt good in the warm heat of the summer, and it shimmered in the rays of the sun, making it look even more beautiful.
“Thank you, Daddy,” She breathed. “It’s the best birthday present ever!” She pulled her father into a hug, a wide smile stretched across her face.
“I’m glad you like it,” Her father gave a smile of his own. “It’s called pezzottaite. Ancient legends say it was used as the centerpiece in headdresses of tribal chieftesses. Maybe you can be a chieftess too,” he gave her a grin.
”Ooh!” Kaylee giggled. “Does that mean I get to tell you what to do, Daddy?”
Her father chuckled. “I guess so, chieftess Kaylee,” he said in a deep voice, bowing down slightly.
Kaylee laughed in delight as she watched. Once her father was up off the ground she took another good look at the gift he had given her- her beautiful gem that she would keep forever and ever.
“Are there more gems like this, Daddy? Like, not pezza-pez-“ she stumbled over the unfamiliar word, frowning at the gem.
“Pezzottaite,” her father gently reminded her. “And yes, there are lots of other gems. Maybe next year for your birthday I’ll try and find another gem for you- what do you think?”
Kaylee nodded excitedly, though her gaze was still locked on the shining pink gem she was holding.
“Why don’t we go inside so you can look at your gem without the heat of the sun on you?” Her father suggested, leading her that way.
“Okay,” Kaylee mumbled, her gem shining as they left.
