Answer: His favorite precious stone would be
Black Opal. The reason is that it is not only beautiful, but it also resembles his whole philosophy of life. Despite his rather young age he is rather poetic, and quite a daydreamer. One of the most important things for him is to look beyond the surface of things. He believes that our eyes only show us the outter appearance of things, which can cause wrong conclusions. Thus for, he always tries to discover the hidden sides of everything he sees, whether it be other equids or just a river or a tree.. And more than once he's found that below the surface of visuality lie secrets, and once revealed it turns out that the object or equid has quite surprising traits that you don't see so easily. Well, but one could now wonder what the black Opal has to do with it. Well, what did you think of when you first heard the name? A black stone maybe, at least it was my first thought. The name of this stone draws a certain, kinda stereotype picture in our heads. It is named black Opal, so it is expected to be black. However, taking a look at it, it gets clear that behind the dark sounding name lies one of the most beautiful gem stones on earth, that is not black but instead reflects the light in every color you can imagine. This resembles Dante's theory of secrets hidden behind the surface of everything.
