Opals and Moonstones

AKA Smol Once Again Uses Birthstones And Birth Flowers To Do Character Analysis. This time we have a twofer, as we'll be looking at Nishiki AND Kiryu! (with a bonus Yumi!) (this is gonna be another long one so please do check out under the cut)

Let's start with Nishikiyama.

His birth date is October 8th, 1968, leaving him with the birthstones opal and tourmaline (originally specifically pink tourmaline but now includes all types).

Now, apparently, tourmaline is the modern birthstone for October, and was made so in 1952 with the approval of the American Gem Society and the National Retail Jewellers Council. I will expand on this stone in another post, because it's the opals I really want to focus on (although it's worth noting that both stones are apparently good for emotional stabilisation, grounding, and healing. :) )

You see, the reason they threw in pink tourmaline as new birthstone is apparently because "In October’s case, the opal was seen by many to be too feminine in appearance and there were questions about its durability". Opals are a very delicate stone, with a water content of 5-10%, which leaves them very vulnerable to cracking under very dry conditions or sudden changes in temperatures. It can even cause them to shrink or expand, so they need a bit more care and maintenance (although you can apparently improve them by wetting them with a lil bit of water, which, idk, I find that fun because fish live in water, 'nishiki' is a koi, you get me?)

We all saw how Nishiki handled suddenly having most of his family and support network ripped from him plus the added pressure of running a new family full of people who very openly disrespect him and see him as some useless weakling they're all obligated to deal with. I'm not the only one who sees the opal parallels, right?

So, opals are a soft, feminine, easily damaged stone, but they also represent love, passion, luck, and healing, and associated with channelling strong emotions. In Roman times it was called the Cupid Stone, and was well-sought after, so overall has a lot of positive meanings and connotations...until a random-ass novel accidentally lead to them being considered bad luck. How dandy.

Now, Kiryu. And by extension, Yumi.

Kiryu's birth date is June 17th, 1968, and Yumi's is June 30th, 1971. (I find it very amusing that Kiryu forgot about Yumi's birthday when it's only a couple of weeks after his lmao)

This means that these lucky ducks actually get three birthstones: alexandrite, pearl, and moonstone.

Alexandrite apparently brings luck, intellect, and prosperity, somewhat similar to tourmaline (it can even be a similar colour to it). Pearls on the other hand symbolise wisdom, especially wisdom gained through experience, as well as calmness, integrity, and loyalty.

I think this is very fitting for our favourite dragon, isn't it? A man whose experiences help him grow from a naive kid into a man who stands by his principles and does whatever he can to help and protect his loved ones althoughitcanbearguedhowmuchhelearnsbutthatsapostforanotherday

But again, there's a particular stone I want to look at, which is of course the moonstone.

It's another stone associated with good luck and fortune, apparently considered sacred in India. It's also a stone of new beginnings and inner growth and strength. Again, fitting for Kiryu's return to Kamurocho after 10 years in the joi- behind bars. However, the reason it interests me is its connections and similarities with opals.

See, at first thought/glance, the two stones are very similar. They're (usually) a white colour but reflect an entire rainbow. And yet, they do so differently; moonstones has what's called 'adularescence', a faint glow akin to the moon shining on the ocean's surface, whereas opals are, naturally, 'opalescent', which is more glittering specks of colour.

Both stones are associated, of course, with the moon and the ocean (as are pearls). Both are considered good-luck charms, are meant to ground emotions, and are associated with femininity. Like, look at this:

Doesn't this sum them up? They're similar but different; Kiryu's calmer, grounding presence combined with Nishiki's more emotional, passionate nature. No wonder the two of them make such a great team!!!

And then I saw this:

:)))))))

It's just....if we keep up with the birthstone imagery/parallels, this means that the two people Nishiki loves the most are 'spiritually' incompatible. That, and the fact that opals are "softer and more easily damaged compared to moonstone" (see how Kiryu handles adversity vs Nishiki handling his struggles). Yknow despite this long-ass post I really don't know quite how to articulate what I'm trying to say, but I'm hoping you see what I mean?

The two men need each other and are stronger together however this strength is so amplified that when the two are separated Nishiki looks so much weaker in comparison, at least in others eyes. He cries, he gets overwhelmed, he lashes out and yells when he's angry, he makes his emotions known. He cares so much about image and how he presents himself to the world, but he has the bad luck of being next to a man with freakish levels of raw brute strength and a naturally stoic outward appearance that he just isn't as impressive in comparison, even though he's NOT unimpressive or incapable! I'm pretty sure that of the two, Nishiki actually knows what the fuck he's doing!

And that's the thing, people think Nishiki is nothing without Kiryu, himself included, but what is Kiryu without Nishiki? The man loves his brother, and I think he's the only one who seems to have an inkling of Nishiki's worth. The two banter and he's like "oh, like you know so much" about being a yakuza and how one should act, but I do think Kiryu trust Nishiki. He goes along with what he says for the most part because he 'knows' that Nishiki knows what he's talking about. He looks up to Nishiki. He sacrificed his freedom to protect him. After those 10 years he wanted to see his brother again.

Unfortunately, a lot changed in those 10 years. The opal cracked under the pressure. Its power and influence grew but its sense of self and stability shrank, leaving it both far too big and far, far too small for its setting. All it needed was a bit maintenance, a bit of care. But it didn't receive that. And instead, the moonstone ended up alone.

Discovering June's Birthstones: Pearl, Moonstone, and Alexandrite

June: The Month of Relaxation and Vacations

June, often considered the mother of all months, brings a sense of relaxation and vacation into our lives. Those born in this month are fortunate to have not one but three birthstones to call their own: pearl, moonstone, and alexandrite. June joins August and December as one of the few months boasting multiple birthstones, each with its unique charm and significance.

Pearl: June's Captivating Birthstone

Pearls, the mesmerizing birthstone of June, originate from oceans, lakes, and rivers worldwide. These natural gems form inside the tissue of living saltwater or freshwater mollusks, such as clams or mussels. A pearl forms when a mollusk secretes nacre around an irritant, like a piece of sand or a parasite. Historically, pearls have been associated with purity, humility, and honesty, earning the nickname "sweet grace." Given as wedding gifts for centuries, pearls now mostly come from cultured sources due to overfishing of natural pearls. These elegant birthstones come in an array of sizes, colors, and shapes, making them timeless and versatile.

The Healing Powers of Pearls

Pearls are believed to offer numerous health benefits, particularly for lung diseases such as tuberculosis, asthma, and chronic bronchitis. They aid in healing the heart, kidneys, urinary system, and liver. Spiritually, pearls bring inner wisdom, strengthen pure love, and emit calming vibrations that soothe emotions and negative inner voices. They are said to surround negative energy with divine light, protecting against psychic attacks and helping individuals connect with their true selves. Pearls are also recommended for women experiencing difficult pregnancies.

Moonstone: The Ethereal June Birthstone

Moonstone, another birthstone for June, is known for its ethereal beauty and its connection to the moon. This gemstone channels the moon's power, influencing the ocean's tides and our emotions. Moonstone's significance lies in its ability to open the heart chakra, fostering awareness and emotional sensitivity. The gemstone's association with the moon symbolizes the constant cycle of darkness giving way to light, reminding us to find our own rhythm and uncover hidden treasures within ourselves.

Healing Properties of Moonstone

Historically used to treat insomnia, moonstone is believed to prevent sleepwalking and help individuals understand and release emotional frustrations. Associated with fertility and sensuality, this stone enhances intuition and patience, allowing for clear communication and understanding. Moonstone is also used to cleanse negative energy from chakras, making it a powerful stone for meditation and spiritual growth.

Alexandrite: The Color-Changing Gemstone

For those who love magic, alexandrite is the perfect gemstone. Known for its remarkable ability to change colours, alexandrite appears bluish-green in daylight and purplish-red under incandescent light. This unique characteristic makes alexandrite a highly prized and fascinating gemstone. It is a variety of the mineral chrysoberyl, and its value increases with the distinctiveness of its colour change.

The Healing Magic of Alexandrite

Alexandrite inspires imagination, encourages listening to inner feelings, and promotes emotional balance. It strengthens self-discipline, helps accurately assess emotions, and fosters appropriate reactions. This gemstone also enhances intuition and psychic abilities, promoting a strong will and magnetic charm. Physically, alexandrite aligns the nervous and glandular systems, alleviating inflammation and tension in the neck muscles.

The Perfect Gift for June Babies

Pearl, moonstone, and alexandrite are ideal gifts for those born in June, making them feel as precious and unique as these gemstones. Each stone carries its own distinct beauty and mystical properties, offering a meaningful and personal touch to any celebration of a June birthday.

June's Gem: Exploring the Beauty of Alexandrite Jewelry

Introduction:- June Birthstone Jewelry

June is a month of blossoming flowers, warm weather, and the promise of summer adventures. It is a time when nature is at its most vibrant, and the world seems to be teeming with life. June is also a month that celebrates two remarkable birthstones, the mesmerizing Pearl and the enchanting Alexandrite. These gems have captivated the hearts of many for centuries and continue to be treasured for their unique beauty and symbolism. In this article, we will explore the fascinating world of June birthstone jewelry, from their historical significance to their stunning variations and contemporary uses.

Pearl - The Gem of Purity and Elegance

Pearl, often associated with purity and elegance, is the primary birthstone for June. This exquisite gem forms naturally within the shells of mollusks, particularly oysters and mussels. Pearls are unique among gemstones because they are not mined from the earth; rather, they are the result of a biological process within living organisms.

Historical Significance

Pearls have been admired for millennia, and their history is steeped in mythology and symbolism. In ancient Greece, pearls were believed to be the tears of the goddess Aphrodite. The Romans saw them as symbols of wealth and power, while in Hindu mythology, pearls were thought to bring wealth and good fortune. Throughout history, pearls have adorned the crowns, jewelry, and clothing of royalty and the elite, symbolizing purity and luxury.

Varieties of Pearls

There are several varieties of pearls, each with its own unique appeal. The most common types include:

Akoya Pearls: These are among the most classic and widely recognized pearls, known for their perfect round shape, high luster, and beautiful colors, including white, cream, and pink.

South Sea Pearls: These are among the largest pearls and are known for their impressive size and rich, natural colors. They are typically found in the waters of Australia, Indonesia, and the Philippines.

Freshwater Pearls: These pearls are more affordable and come in various shapes, including round, oval, and baroque. They are typically cultivated in freshwater environments.

Tahitian Pearls: Grown in the waters of French Polynesia, Tahitian pearls are famous for their unique and exotic dark colors, including black, green, and peacock.

Pearl Jewelry Styles

Pearls are incredibly versatile and can be incorporated into various jewelry styles, making them a timeless choice. Here are some popular pearl jewelry options:

Pearl Necklaces: Classic and elegant, pearl necklaces come in various lengths, from chokers to opera-length strands.

Pearl Earrings: From simple pearl studs to more intricate designs, pearl earrings add a touch of sophistication to any outfit.

Pearl Bracelets: Pearl bracelets are perfect for stacking with other bracelets or wearing individually, providing a touch of glamour to your wrist.

Pearl Rings: Pearl rings can be stunning as engagement or cocktail rings, with their unique luster and charm.

Alexandrite - The Mystical Color-Changing Gem

June's secondary birthstone, Alexandrite, is renowned for its mesmerizing color-changing properties. This extraordinary gemstone was discovered in the Ural Mountains of Russia in the early 19th century and was named in honor of Tsar Alexander II.

Historical Significance

Alexandrite has long been associated with mystery and magic due to its ability to change color in different lighting conditions. It is said to bring good luck, balance, and joy to the wearer. The stone's captivating green color in daylight transforms into a rich red or purple under incandescent light. This phenomenon is often described as "emerald by day, ruby by night."

Varieties of Alexandrite

Natural Alexandrite is extremely rare and highly sought after due to its color-changing properties. Synthetic lab-grown Alexandrite is also available, offering an affordable alternative without sacrificing the gem's unique characteristics.

Alexandrite Jewelry Styles

Alexandrite jewelry is a true rarity and a symbol of luxury and exclusivity. Popular styles include:

Alexandrite Rings: Alexandrite rings are the most common choice, allowing the stone to showcase its color-changing ability with every movement of the hand.

Alexandrite Necklaces: Alexandrite pendants and necklaces are a beautiful way to keep this remarkable gem close to your heart.

Alexandrite Earrings: Earrings with Alexandrite gemstones offer subtle elegance with a touch of mystique.

Alexandrite Engagement Rings: Some couples opt for Alexandrite engagement rings, symbolizing their unique and ever-changing love.

Contemporary Uses and Trends

In recent years, June birthstone jewelry has experienced a resurgence in popularity, thanks to modern design trends and a growing appreciation for the symbolism and individuality of gemstones. Many jewelry designers are now incorporating pearls and Alexandrite into contemporary pieces, offering a fresh take on these classic gemstones. Customization is also on the rise, allowing individuals to create personalized jewelry that reflects their style and personality.

Conclusion

June's birthstones, Pearl and Alexandrite, are truly remarkable gems that have captivated humanity for centuries.
