Napoleon's Marshals and their Birthstones FINAL part

This is the third and final part of the birthstone saga where I'll cover the remaining four birthstones and their marshals (plus two other non-marshals but I wanted to include anyway). I can't believe I spent half of my winter break researching shiny rocks XD

Part 1 and Part 2 are avaliable here

--------------------------------------------------------------

*Mineraloid: A mineral-like object that does NOT contain a crystalline structure.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Sapphire (September)

Marshals- N/A (Honorable mentions: Eugène de Beauharnais & Jean-Andoche Junot)

Type: Mineral

Group: Oxide (Al₂O₃)

Color: Blue, yellow, green, purple

Cleavage: Poor

Fracture: Conchoidal to splintery

Mohs Scale: 9

Luster: Vitreous

Streak: Colorless

Fun Facts: Sapphire is a variety of the mineral corundum and usually comes in the color blue, but it can also come in colors such as yellow, green, and even purple. Its blue hue is due to traces of iron and titanium in its crystal structure. Sapphires, along with the other cardinal gemstones, have a rich history and cultural significance. In ancient Persia and Greece, it was believed that sapphires possessed divine powers and were used in crowns and jewelry of kings and queens. In today’s age, sapphires are used in different objects such as luxury watches, LED lights, and infrared sensor windows used in military aircraft because of their durability (having a hardness of 9, making it the second hardest mineral other than a diamond) and a high melting point of about 3704°F or 2040 °C.

Opal (October)

Marshals- Augereau, Lefebvre, and Grouchy

Type: Mineraloid*

Group: (Hydrated) Silica (SiO₂·nH₂O)

Color: Colorless, white, yellow, blue, green, black, brow, pink

Cleavage: None

Fracture: Conchoidal to uneven

Mohs Scale: 5.5-6

Luster: Waxy

Streak: White

Fun Fact: Opals are formed when water carries pieces of silica inside an open rock or sediment, often found near volcanoes or groundwater. As time passes, the water inside the rock will evaporate, leaving the silica to solidify inside the host rock, which, under specific temperatures and pressure, will begin to form the opal. There are four types of opals: precious, common, matrix, and synthetic opals. Precious opals exhibit what is known as “opalescence,” which happens due to the arrangement of silica inside the opal, creating an array of colorful hues when put under light. Common opals do not possess opalescence; they are either opaque or translucent with one main color present. Matrix opals are opals embedded in their host rock during their formation, and synthetic opals are lab-grown opals that imitate the colorful look of natural opals.

Topaz (November)

Marshals- Berthier and Macdonald

Type: Mineral

Group: Silicate (Al₂SiO₄(F,OH)₂)

Color: Colorless, blue, brown, yellow if impurities are present

Cleavage: Basal (perfect)

Fracture: Subconchoidal to uneven

Mohs Scale: 8

Luster: Vitreous or adamantine

Streak: White

Fun Fact: Topaz gets its name from the Greek word topazion, which refers to the Zabargad Island near the Red Sea, where peridot is also found. Topaz comes in different colors, but the most popular color is blue, the most common color found in jewelry stores [1]. Natural blue topaz is very rare, so to get the color blue, a colorless or pale yellow topaz is heated or irradiated using gamma radiation. Subatomic particles are shot through the topaz at high speeds, which knocks some of the electrons out of orbit, causing the light that travels through the crystal to change and the amount of light absorbed. Due to the color wavelength changing, the human eye perceived the topaz as blue [2]. 

Turquoise (December)

Marshals- Perrin and Sérurier

Type: Mineral

Group: Phospate (CuAl₆(PO₄)₄(OH)₈·4H₂O)

Color: Turquoise, blue, blue-green

Cleavage: Perfect but rarely seen

Fracture: Conchoidal

Mohs Scale: 5-6

Luster: Waxy or dull

Streak: Blue or white

Fun Fact: Turquoise is another mineral that contains water in its structure; this comes in the form of a hydrated phosphate of either copper or aluminum. Turquoise was one of the first gemstones to be mined, with some jewelry dating back to around 5000 BCE. Even though it has been used in jewelry for thousands of years, its value has decreased due to the treatments and synthetic turquoise appearing more often in the market. Even though they are minerals, well-formed crystals are rarely found on their own, with most turquoise growing closely packed around another mineral, causing it to have a higher durability [3]. Due to its lower hardness level, caring for any turquoise jewelry is important, and it is recommended not to use it while doing any sort of manual labor as the gemstone can be easily damaged. Jewelry designers place a durable bezel around the gem to prevent scratches and protect it. However, the bezel can only protect the gemstone to a limited degree since it is still exposed to open air. It is also recommended not to get the gemstone wet as it can absorb liquids due to its low porosity, which can alter its color [4].

tanzanite

While December babies share topaz with the November babies, November's topaz being golden-brown while December's is blue, December also lays claim to the newly discovered excitement of tanzanite.

Tanzanite, so the legend goes, was discovered by Masai herders in the Merelani Hills near Mt. Kilimanjaro. A lightning strike set the grasslands around the area on fire, forcing the herders to flee with their animals. When the fire had burned itself out and the Masai returned with their herds, they found the ground littered with beautiful dark blue stones (the government of Tanzania recognizes Jumanne Mhero Ngoma as the official discoverer of the gem). The rest of the world wouldn't find out about these stones until 1967 when a Indian prospector named Manuel de Souza, hunting for sapphires or gold depending on which story you go with, either stumbled across some of the blue gems himself or was directed there by the locals. At first he assumed they were olivine but something about them struck him as unique and so he sent some samples to a gemstone dealer friend of his and from that point on things took off. It wasn't long before the gem was discovered to be a brand new jewel. While the official name of the stone is blue zoisite, jewelry dealers knew better. In 1968, the gem was marketed as 'tanzanite' by Tiffany and Co. with the slogan that the rare new gem could only be found in two places in the entire world: "Tanzania and Tiffany's".

And Tiffanys was right. To this day, the rare stone is only found in Tanzania, in the same foothills that it was originally discovered in. There is no where else in the world these gems turn up. While I found 'lab created tanzanite' on etsy, I couldn't find any actual confirmation that the stone has ever been replicated in a lab, just that it has been imitated there. Right now, the entirety of this jewels deposits all exist in one single point, a stretch of land that's four miles long and one mile wide. This area is broken up into four sectors, half given to corporate mining and half to locals. In fact, Saniniu Laizer, a local man, mined the two largest tanzanite stones to ever have been found at 21 pounds(972 kg) and 11 pounds (5.1kg). He sold them to the government for 3.35 million USD.

Tanzanite is measured at 6.5 on the Mohs hardness scale. It is a member of the zoisite family with its natural color being a reddish brown to clear. Heat brings out its blue color which can dip almost into purple with some stones. It also shows different shades of color when viewed from different angles from red-violet to deep blue to yellow-green, though heat treatment will all but eliminate everything but the blue and violet colors and the cut of the gem can enhance a specific color as well. When viewed under cool lighting the gem appear more blue while warm lighting brings out its purple.

As a fairly new stone, to the west at least, tanzanite doesn't have much folklore to go with it. But there is some.

Tanzanite is considered a stone that brings good luck, new beginnings and prosperity. Which, yeah, that makes sense considering. In Tanzania, women that have just given birth wear blue, both their clothes and their jewelry, to give their child a healthy and positive life. Since tanzanite both changes color with heat as well as while it is turned to catch different angles, it is know as 'the stone of transformation'. Feng Shui believes that a tanzanite stone can promote peace, tranquility and open communication. It is the gift for 24th wedding anniversaries.

It is also very, very rare and limited. It has the moniker of 'the gemstone of a generation' because when the mines run dry, some guesstimates give less than twenty-five years, the tanzanite we have will be the only trace of it left.

You can always find her in the lab, making experiments and following in the footsteps of her late parents. Always using her scientific mind to help her family. However, she can be a bit naive when it comes to social situations, at least the ones with humans.

She’s the heart of the group, a bubbly girl who loves learning everything she can about humanity. She also loves Juleka, and feels that the vampire always gives her a spark of happiness.

Terrified of fire, and avoids using any chemicals that are highly flammable.

Miscellaneous Trivia —

Connie was often scolded for crying or showing any form of emotion while growing up with her adoptive family. After she came out as trans, it was especially hard for her to find her voice, she never had an example of what it meant to stand up for yourself. Due to constant backlash over any time she would defend herself, especially the night she was kicked out of the house, Connie stopped speaking. She has Traumatic Mutism. Later on in her life, finds herself more comfortable speaking with select people. Meeko, her girlfriend later in life, will be the one person she completely drops her guard with.

Growing up away from her siblings, she often found herself outside a lot of the time. Fascinated by bugs! She often collected them in jars, or picked them up to get a better look at them. Connie’s favorite bug is the Lotus Mantis.

Connie is insanely good at painting, but finds a lack of passion within it. She wants to create art that inflicts emotion from herself but always finds herself numb staring at her own works.

Sneeze Content —

ALLERGIES

Connie has spring time allergies! She’s also allergic to Lavender and Jasmine. Even the lab made scents can send her into a tizzy!

How severe are they?

Pretty severe, she often tries to find anyway to stay inside during the spring unable to get anything productive done if she’s struck with a case of allergies.

Do they get sick often?

She doesn’t get sick often, a lot like her brother she has a pretty good immune system. However, she is partnered with Remi’s sister Meeko, and the apple did not fall far from that tree. So often, she will catch Meeko’s illnesses.

How bad is it usually?

When Connie is sick she’s basically a shell of a person. It’s hard to get her out of bed, or to even eat. She tries her best to just stay under the covers and fight it off with tens and tons of cold meds. She is a certified baby but with a lot less complaints.

Do they stifle?

Connie does stifle, she doesn’t like to alert others that she is coming down with something or is being tormented by her own body. She will try to hide it, but essentially isn’t very good at stifling and it usually blows through anyway.

How loud are their sneezes?

Just like her brother, she’s a very polite sneezer. Due to not having much exercise on her vocals anyway, she is very quiet when she sneezes, they’re more air than sound.

What do they sneeze into?

Connie sneezes into her hand, inner elbow or sometimes uncovered :x

How often do they sneeze?

She doesn’t sneeze very often unless she happens to be in a shopping center. Those places have an ungodly amount of lavender scented things, and it usually costs her in the end.

How many times do they sneeze in a fit?

She sneezes about 2-3 times in a fit, maybe 4. It varies in severity.

Do they have build-ups or are they sudden?

Connie has a slight build up when it comes to her allergies, however, they’re very sudden when exposed to the flowery scents.

Do they sneeze in public?

Connie does sneeze in public because she doesn’t really see the issue with it? She doesn’t like to be OBVIOUS about sneezing in public, but she will if the opportunity presents itself.

Some examples of their sneezes?

ehh’Gxxtchh’iew!!

Backstory —

Connie was born, Connor Steven Anderson, later changed to Constance Eve Anderson. She doesn’t have much memory before she was taken away from her family at 3, but she remembers loving her mother and siblings very deeply. She also remembers how horribly it felt to be ripped away from them all. Placed into a very strict Asian household, she often felt very insecure and isolated. When her parents realized she was a shifter, they did everything in their power to try and stifle it. They often beat, berated and restricted her for losing control of her shift. The constant abuse being the driving force of her being able to gain control of it. Yet the problems didn’t stop there. Even after isolating herself from her culture, and trying her best to appease her new parents, it all came crashing down when Connie realized she was trans, and came out to them. They kicked her out and called her a disgrace to the family name, that they should have known better when initially adopting her. It left Connie feeling more hollow than she ever had in her life. As she started sleeping on the streets, and exchanging her body for money and substances, Connie met a very kind, elderly homeless veteran, who called himself Pops. She and Pops took care of each other, he treated her like the daughter he never got to have, and she viewed him as the father she never had as well. They bonded together, kept each other right (as right as two homeless addicted people could be) and built their shelters together. One day when Connie was out applying for work, she came back to their camp to find Pops had been mugged and murdered, all their things torn through and the man gasping with his final breaths in her arms. She couldn’t do anything but hold him and cry. After several hours she was approached by a man with bright red hair and facial tattoos, Alistar. The man took pity on her and agreed to help her back on her feet. Though he had alternative motives, he found himself a soft spot for the young shifter girl, and decided she’d suffered enough in this cruel world. Al hooked her up with a studio in downtown New York, he pays the bills for it and provides her an allowance for necessities and other things. Often Al is not with Connie, but provides for her so she can have the room to discover who she is and what she wants to do. Though she is entirely grateful for the strange man, she doesn’t exactly understand why he wants to help her. Eventually, she opens up to him about her family, and he goes on a wild goose chase to reunite them.

Power of Gemstones - A Comprehensive Guide to Their Meanings and Uses

Crystal healing is a Complementary & Alternative Medicine that uses gemstones to promote emotional wellness and improve physical health. Different crystals have unique properties and powers that work differently on the body-mind. Pliny classed stones by color and assigned a virtue to each, although his observations were often based on second-hand information and legends. His work was the basis for a great deal of mineralogy and gemology writing through the centuries. What are gemstones and their uses? Gemstones are natural minerals or non-mineral materials that are used for their beauty and durability. They can be either transparent or opaque and can display optical properties such as pleochroism, wherein different colors are seen when the stone is viewed from different angles. They are admired for their luster, clarity, color, rarity and other physical qualities that make them special. Some gemstones, such as pearls, are organic in origin while others, like amber, are fossil resins of prehistoric trees. Then there are the rock gems which include lapis lazuli, opal and obsidian. Finally, there are the synthetic or lab created gems which are created by human intervention. Almost all gemstones are minerals with a unique chemical composition and crystal structure. They are also classified as precious or semi-precious based on their rarity and value. Diamonds are considered precious while emeralds, rubies and sapphires are considered semi-precious. Most of the gemstones are mined in nature while some are enhanced using heat or delicate chemical processes to improve their clarity and appearance. Do gemstones have power? The power of gemstones has long been a subject of speculation. Some believe that certain stones have healing powers and can protect against negative energies, while others claim that they have mystical properties. The belief that gemstones have special powers dates back to ancient times, when people used them as talismans to bring good luck and protection. The practice was especially popular in Europe during the Middle Ages, when gemstone-adorned talismans were often a sign of wealth and prestige. Today, many people still believe that gemstones have healing and protective powers. For example, amethyst is believed to help with insomnia, pain, and other physical ailments. Chrysoberyl is known for its ability to connect you with a higher perspective and promote peace of mind. Unakite is a stone that balances emotions and helps you stay grounded. Sapphires are known to help with devotion, and peridot is thought to heal stress in relationships. Likewise, rubies are said to increase integrity and aid in love and passion. Turquoise is also believed to bring good fortune and health. What is the power of gemstones? Many people believe that gemstones have the power to heal, balance, and enhance one’s life. Moreover, they can even shape your future. A good example of this is Amitabh Bachhan, who was seen wearing 2 blue sapphires on his middle finger and a topaz on his little finger at the time of his comeback. Each gem has its own special energy. For instance, hematite is believed to clear away negative energy like stress and blockages. It is also known to energize the bloodstream, aids in mental clarity and increases emotional stability. Jade, on the other hand, is said to promote inner strength and resourcefulness. And finally, agate is known to reduce pain and enhance circulation. The reason why each gemstone has its own unique energy is because they all have different atomic structures. For instance, beryl is colorless in its natural form, but when it is infused with chromium, it becomes emerald. And when it is infused with manganese, it becomes pink morganite. Similarly, other elements can alter the color of a stone as well. What is the most powerful gemstone in astrology? Gemstones come with a natural energy that is channelized into your body to remove energetic blockages. They also have the power to draw energy from a particular planet and impart it in your life. This is similar to how modern medicine uses green vegetables and sun baths to remove vitamin and mineral deficiencies in the body. There are different gemstones for different needs, so it is important to consult a reputable Vedic astrologer to get the best recommendations. When shopping for a gemstone, make sure it is certified and ritually energized to maximize its potency. For example, yellow sapphires transmit the power of Jupiter, which helps to protect you from negative energies and boost your success and wealth. On the other hand, rubies transmit the powerful energy of Mars and are known to give you courage and confidence to take risks. For love, Rhodochrosite is the perfect stone for Virgos and red agate attracts lovers who can handle your vulnerability. Pyrite is considered a money stone and can bring you financial stability and prosperity. Does wearing gemstones help? There’s no scientific evidence to support the healing benefits of gemstones. However, many people believe that they are beneficial, and some of the perceived benefits may be due to the placebo effect. Regardless, they are often used to help heal injuries and boost confidence and optimism. For example, peridot is believed to heal stress in relationships and reduce anger and jealousy. Sugilite, on the other hand, is said to facilitate meditation and spirituality. Likewise, amethyst is thought to help cleanse the energy system and promote clarity of mind. Gemstones have also been used in astrology to diminish the effects of certain planets. Diamonds, natural pearls, rubies, sapphires, cats eye, red coral, blue sapphire, yellow sapphire and emerald are 9 gems referred to as Navratnas in astrology, and they’re all known for their abilities to cure ailments and ward off evil. If you’re interested in trying crystals for healing, ask an experienced astrologer to advise you on the best gemstones for your needs. And be sure to wear them with love, as they hold a lot of power. Which is the luckiest gemstone? There are many stones that are believed to bring good luck, but each one has its own unique energy and benefits. Some of the most popular lucky gemstones include amethyst, citrine, and green aventurine. Amethyst is a stone that brings luck in finances and business, as well as love and health. It is also known as the “gambler’s stone” for its ability to boost your chances of winning in games of chance. Green aventurine is another one of the luckiest gemstones, as it channeled abundance and prosperity, particularly with finances. It is often found as entire geode clusters, which look like dazzling crystalline gardens of good luck! Lastly, Citrine is another good luck gemstone that is especially helpful in bringing luck in money matters. It is also known as the “merchant’s stone,” and its zesty vibes are perfect for manifesting wealth, boosting optimism, and encouraging creativity. This is the ideal stone for those who are looking to take on new financial ventures. What is the king of all gemstones? Gemstones amplify the body's natural healing force to produce specific therapeutic effects.

Beyond the Traditional: Alternative Diamond Engagement Rings for Women

When it comes to engagement rings, the traditional diamond solitaire is often the go-to choice for many couples. However, in recent years, there has been a growing trend towards alternative diamond engagement rings that offer a unique and personalised touch. Elgrissy Diamonds, a high-end jewelry company, offers a diverse range of alternative Diamond Engagement Rings for Women that break away from traditional styles and offer a one-of-a-kind look.

One option for an alternative diamond engagement ring is a colored diamond or gemstone. Colored diamonds come in a range of hues, from subtle shades of pink or yellow to bold blues and greens. They offer a unique and eye-catching look that is sure to stand out from the traditional white diamond. Elgrissy Diamonds offers a range of colored diamonds, from natural fancy colored diamonds to treated diamonds. They also offer a range of colored gemstones, such as sapphires, emeralds, and rubies, that can add a pop of color to the ring.

One of the most popular alternative diamond engagement ring styles is the three-stone ring. These rings feature three diamonds or gemstones, usually arranged in a line, that symbolize the past, present, and future of a couple's relationship. Elgrissy Diamonds offers a range of three-stone rings in various designs, from classic and elegant to modern and edgy.

Another option for an alternative diamond engagement ring is to choose a ring with a non-traditional setting. The setting is the part of the ring that holds the diamond or gemstone in place, and it can dramatically affect the overall look of the ring. Elgrissy Diamonds offers a range of setting styles, including bezel, tension, and pave settings, among others.

A bezel setting is where the diamond or gemstone is surrounded by a thin metal rim that holds it in place. This type of setting creates a modern and sleek look and offers excellent protection for the diamond or gemstone.

A tension setting is where the diamond or gemstone is held in place by the tension of the metal band, creating the illusion that the diamond is floating in mid-air. This type of setting offers a unique and modern look and allows maximum light to enter the diamond, enhancing its brilliance and sparkle.

A pave setting is where small diamonds or gemstones are set closely together, covering the entire surface of the ring. This type of setting creates a sparkling and glamorous look and adds extra brilliance to the ring.

Elgrissy Diamonds also offers custom engagement ring designs, where customers can work with their expert team to create a ring that perfectly fits their style and preferences. The custom design process allows customers to choose every aspect of the ring, from the type of diamond or gemstone to the setting style and metal type.

In addition to offering alternative diamond engagement rings, Elgrissy Diamonds also offers a range of eco-friendly and ethical options. We offer lab-grown diamonds, which are created in a laboratory using advanced technology and mimic the look and quality of natural diamonds. Lab-grown diamonds offer a sustainable and ethical alternative to natural diamonds, as they have a much smaller carbon footprint and are not associated with the ethical concerns surrounding the mining of natural diamonds.

Elgrissy Diamonds also offers ethically sourced natural diamonds that are certified by the Kimberley Process, an international certification scheme that ensures that diamonds are sourced from conflict-free areas and not used to fund armed conflict. They also offer recycled gold and platinum, which are made from previously mined metals and offer a sustainable and eco-friendly alternative to newly mined metals.

In conclusion, Elgrissy Diamonds offers a range of alternative diamond engagement rings for women that break away from traditional styles and offer a unique and personalised look. From coloured diamonds and gemstones to non-traditional settings and custom designs, there are endless options for couples looking for something.
