I am exhausted but I genuinely had such a good day. I was able to go to a gem and mineral show at a localish museum, which I was very thrilled to do as I have a long standing tradition of going to the show in the city I grew up in and being that I moved last summer, I knew that wasn't happening this year.
Part of this tradition is coming home with some kind of opal. It is my very favorite gem stone and whether it's a piece of jewelry or loose stone, I always come home with opal. And I found my opal at the second vendor we went to.
The gentleman running the stand was a kind older man and we chatted for a little while about previous shows we'd been to and I explained my tradition and how I was thrilled to have found his raw opal. When he asked, i told him about my plans to take my loose opals and place them in one of those glass locket necklaces. I did want to want look around a bit more before purchasing as I knew how I was about opal and I wanted to be able to purchase more than just that stone.
At the end of the day I returned to his stand and he seemed genuinely surprised to see me. I wne tight to work searching out the stones with the least amount of rough stone still attached since I knew that would add weight and thus price. I picked out a few that I loved and went to weigh them.
My plan was to settle on one large piece and few smaller chips roughly working it out so it would be around twenty dollars or so. He was watching me do this mental math and my friend asked about it and before I could explain, he asked how much I was looking to spend and I told him.
When he told me I could have everything in my hand for 20, when it was easily double that the only thing I could say was "Are you sure??" and when he told me that, yes he was sure I could barely keep myself from bouncing with excitement.
It absolutely made my day and I can't wait to find the perfect locket for them all. I hope he finds the same kindness he showed me today

Something, something, something ──── Based on an ancient design, Nausi can fashion jewelry of unique shapes and symbols. Her favorite necklace that's she had crafted serves as a powerful symbol to her intricate abilities but also as a natural harness that tethers her to the victim of choice.
Created to have a nature-honed appearance of bees and butterflies, spiraling flowers, serpents, and twinkling starfish. There was something about the necklace that made it alive, humming with raw energy and untapped power. It was magical.
She implemented into each element with a specific purpose or intent in mind. The gems chosen to enhance each other: ruby for desire, black opal for obsession, topaz for yearning, garnet for heat. And asteria, the smoke-gray form of sapphire with a six-pointed star was her star. And when her eyes flow to their moonstone-hue of magical possession, it’s just the color of them.
Interwoven into every piece were herb caches, tiny compartments that could be filled with potions or powders. The necklace was drenched in sorcery. Even the design itself was a diabolical spell. Every line, curve and flower stem had a meaning, could make the eye follow a pattern that was as powerful as any symbol traced on the floor in chalk. Just looking at the piece could be enough to charm you.
First it would be shaped from stiff blue wax, a lost art, before casting them in silver or copper or gold. She could carve an intricate masterpiece that was going to have roughly the same effect as Aphrodite’s magic girdle, which meant that no person under her gaze was going to be able to look at it without falling under her spell. And having blood of the receiver’s means that she can personalize it.
And they'd give it to her willingly, because that's just the way witches operate. Whether you knew it or not, you wanted to be beguiled by her.

Alright buckle up, I'm going on a rant
So I was on Instagram and an add pop up. It's several rings. I see one that I find pretty so I look up the model just so I know what kind of price we're talking.
And my god do they have no shame ?
Alright so background information, I'm a geologist and a gemmologist so I know my rocks. The ring I found was this one :
Natural back opal is one of the most expensive type of opal out there. Here, we have lab grown opal, you can tell by the stripped pattern. Uncut it looks like this :
Now, no hate toward lab grown gems, the fact that we can imitate natural gems is pretty cool if you ask me.
BUT
Lab grown opal is obviously WAY cheaper than natural opal. Especially for black opal.
600$ looked pretty high for me so I looked up other rings in this style
BAM WE LOOSE MORE THAN 450$ (still too expensive if you ask me but still).
THAT'S NOT ALL
If you were to buy the raw material (keep in mind that it's an estimate because I couldn't find prices directly from the lab)
One slab big enough to do several rings is the price of one of the cheaper ring (keep in mind that you still have to make a ring out of it and you have to pay for that).
So let's be clear, do not buy a 600$ lab grown opal ring, it's not supposed to be that expensive.
Anyway always check where the gems in your jewelry is from folks <3

Navka: Animulla
The most coveted of Navka's resources and also the one the kingdom keeps closest to its chest. Animulla are the magic crystals and gems mined in the region that, despite the Navkan's reputation of weaker intellectual prowess, have put their name on the map as a magical powerhouse. With the ability to manipulate, nullify or amplify magic, it was only recently, after the death of the former king that Navka has even entertained the idea of trading some of this precious resource, and even then, it's in very, VERY limited quantities.
Most animulla work by passively (or actively) absorbing the magic in the environment that can be used by the owner.
Types:
Syla: a clear crystal that fill with color as it's filled with magic; a reusable magic battery that can absorb raw magic; used to power much of the magic technology in Navka; the more freely traded animulla
Zemne: jewels that come in a variety of colors depending on the type; the second most common type seen in regular Navkan life; amplifiers of standard elemental magics; the type Navka is more willing to trade small quantities of though mostly reserved for close allies
Rozum: translucent, pale green gems (think specifically Siberian emeralds) that shimmers with a light like the sun filtered through leaves; nicknamed the "Trickster's Gem" or "Faerie Tears"; amplifies psychic and mental type magics such as communications and illusions; used only by the nobility and certain allies
Null: black and dark purple crystals with purple swirls (think darker versions of charoite with much more black) and gold flecks that glow when used; reserved for the royal family and their close friends; absorbs and nullifies magic, often releasing the magic in a burst
Scela: dark red gems with black textures that can seem suspicious (like faces in torment) if you look at them long enough; reserved for the royal family and authorized individuals; amplifies dark magic (necromancy, curses, etc)
Dusha: pale iridescent gems (like the middle between opal and moonstone) with white textures that look like feathers (think seraphinite); reserved for the royal family and authorized individuals (like certain members of the Temples); amplifies magics like healing, spirit-types, and "divine" magic
Notes:
Most animulla are temporary, especially amplifier types. How long it lasts depends on factors like the size, quality, and frequency of use.Once used up, the gems lose their glow/shine and are little more than just pretty jewels. They're still very pretty though.
There are a handful that, even after thousands of years, have not lost their shine. But the owners of such gems are not letting those go.
Syla can be reused so long as there is no physical damage. If cracked, even when new, there is a chance of any absorbed magic leaking out or even exploding. Be careful.
Any nation with some sort of trade deals with Navka can assume to be gaining Syla. It's the others that Navka will be more selective with.
So far, I only know that there are trades of personal shares between Navka and Ahnia (most likely Zemne). And they've been holding off on giving any to Vanystea. If anyone else wants any, we can talk.
One theory as to why animulla can only be found in Navka is an abundance of magic or energy in the environment. Others say this is because of a long history of death, with the tragedies releasing magic or energy or whatever into the world around them.
Animulla is used in tech, weapons, and accessories.
Navkan nobles and upper class tend to wear jewelry and accessories with animulla hidden among normal jewels. Especially when traveling on official political missions.
Most nobles will carry some Rozum and Null for the sake of communication and protection
Mikhail uses mainly Zemne (pyro type), and Scela
Dmitri uses mainly Zemne (cryo and ventus types) (Though he also wears an earring or something that has a Dusha crystal in it)
Lazuli uses mainly Rozum, and Dusha

"Unlocking Nature's Mysterious Palette: Bumble Bee Jasper Unveiled"
"Mastering the Art of Gem Cutting: A Comprehensive Guide to Gem Cuts and Styles"
Gemstones, nature's most exquisite creations, captivate with their brilliant shine, magnificent colors, and perfect gem shapes. However, their divine appearance is not entirely natural. When mined from the heart of Mother Nature, gemstones are typically covered with impurities and possess irregular shapes. To enhance their physical beauty, gemstones undergo a meticulous process of cutting and polishing, transforming them into the stunning gems we admire.
Tumbling and Polishing: The simplest and earliest method of enhancing a gemstone's quality involves tumbling and polishing. In this process, a gemstone is placed in a tumbling machine that moves it in a circular motion. This grit motion, carried out over days or weeks, smooths the edges and surfaces, resulting in a polished round gem.
Why is a Gemstone Cut? Cutting a gemstone serves multiple purposes beyond shaping. One primary reason is to enhance the stone's shine by creating multiple flat planes, or facets, on its surface. These facets reflect light, producing the sparkling effect that adds to the gemstone's allure. Cutting also ensures that the gem retains its chemical integrity while showcasing its unique characteristics. Perfect gem cuts significantly increase a gemstone's value by enhancing its brilliance and overall quality.
What is Gem Cutting? Gem cutting, or lapidary, is the art of cutting and polishing gemstones to enhance their color and sparkle. After being mined in their crude form, gemstones are covered with unwanted particles and appear dull. The cutting process transforms these raw crystals into visually appealing gems, ideal for jewelry making.
Gemstone Cuts: Different styles and cuts are used to shape gemstones, each with unique characteristics and demands.
Cabochon: One of the oldest gemstone cuts, the cabochon involves tumbling and polishing to achieve a smooth, shiny finish without facets. This cut is commonly used for opals, moonstones, turquoise, onyx, and agate.
Old Mine Cut: Similar to the Mogul and old European cuts, this vintage style aims for maximum brilliance, with larger facets and a taller profile due to historical tool limitations.
Step Cut: This cut features horizontal layers resembling steps, highlighting the gemstone's vibrant colors and clarity.
Brilliant Cut: A complex cut with multiple facets at various angles, designed to maximize sparkle. Variations depend on the stone's size and shape.
Barion Cut: Combining the brilliant and step cuts, this style creates a cross-shaped pattern in the center of the stone, varying with the gem's shape.
Rose Cut: Featuring a round cabochon base with a faceted top in a triangular pattern, this cut has
remained popular since its introduction in the 1520s.
Divine Cut: A modern variation of the brilliant cut, the divine cut aims to enhance brilliance and light refraction. The gem acquires a parachute-like shape with a flat, smaller top surface compared to the brilliant cut.
Checkerboard Cut: This cut gives the stone a checkerboard appearance with square-shaped facets. It pairs well with cushion-shaped gemstones and translucent stones, showcasing intricate details.
Eight Cut: A simplified version of the brilliant cut, featuring only eight facets centered on the stone cuts.
Ceylon Cut: A mixed cut style where the sides of the stone are cut similarly to the brilliant cut, creating step-like facets ascending to the center.
Gemstone Cutting Tools: With technological advancements, gem-cutting tools have evolved to achieve greater sophistication and precision. The quality of a gemstone cutting tool is determined by its ability to enhance a gemstone's clarity and intricacy without compromising its innate traits. Modern tools, often incorporating LASER technology, have revolutionized gem cutting while maintaining the principles of traditional methods.
Key features of a good gem-cutting tool include:
A polishing pad
A grinder or lapping plate
An angle scale for precise cutting tips
A setting pin to hold the stone in place during cutting
Speed and depth control mechanisms
A single needle tip made of diamond or silicon carbide
Proper illumination for cutting
Choosing the Right Gem Cutting Machine: Selecting the right gem-cutting tool is crucial for achieving magnificent crystals. Important factors to consider include:
Repeatability: Consistent results over time.
Speed: Faster cutting speeds are preferable, provided they align with accuracy.
Accuracy: Precision in cutting is essential for high-quality gems.
Reliability: A durable machine that maintains accuracy over time.
Types of Gem Cutting Machines:
The Jam Peg Machine: Traditional and fast but less accurate, requiring a longer mastery period.
The Mast Machine: Technologically advanced with high accuracy, commonly used in developed countries but slower in speed.
The Hand Piece Machine: A balanced tool combining speed and accuracy, easier to use and maintain, offering reliable long-term results.
In conclusion, the art of gem cutting transforms raw gemstones into breathtaking jewels. Each cut style and tool plays a vital role in enhancing a gemstone's natural beauty, ensuring it sparkles with unparalleled brilliance and vibrant hues. Whether it's the simplicity of the cabochon or the complexity of the brilliant cut, mastering gem cutting unlocks the full potential of these precious creations from nature.
