We are the crystal gems!

At least the first three that appear haha, but I intend to draw the others too.

[treetrunk737464]

The first of the pair!

This is Pearl, she’s an era 2 gem who belongs to Amethyst, the subject of my next post. There’ll be lore under the Read More sign!

Context warning for cannon-typical depersonalisation, kidnapping, systematic murder system and other dystopian themes. Fun Homeworld things.

| Basic Information

Okay, so Pearl. Pearl is an era 2 gem, made after the gem war for a Spessartite Garnet as a reward for some great thing she did, probably conquering a planet with feisty organics on it or something, it’s not super important.

I’d say that Pearl doesn’t really know anything about the Crystal Gems at all. I don’t think she even knows that there was a war in the first place- Homeworld keeps what happened under tight wraps, and if you are a new gem you won’t really know about it unless an older gem tells you. And, of course, Pearls have no business knowing about such things in the first place.

| Background Information

You may or may not have noticed that Pearl’s gem has a few big nasty cracks in it! Oh no! Not entirely healthy for a gem to be having. So, the tea:

When Pearl was being incubated (since Pearls are organic- they are made in the Shell instead of in the ground. This is going into hc territory, but I don’t think Pearls made for gems who are not super high class present as flowery and nice as Diamond Pearls do- I think they’re a little more… mass produced? Like a string of Pearls is created, they’re taken out of the Shell by some gem (Peridots?) then nursed until ready to sell. Does that make sense?), the Peridot transporting her and a couple other Pearl gems to the nursery dropped them. See: top left corner of the image.

Most of the string shattered, but Pearl was fortunate, her gem fell on top of her now dead sisters. She still got a couple of cracks, though. Since Pearl was still so new- I mean she hadn’t even formed yet- once in the nursery the Peridot filled her cracks with some glue stuff so she wouldn’t fall apart.

However, now she’s been cracked and parts of her gem have been sloppily replaced by glue stuff. Not exactly ideal. She’s got some behavioral problems (which for Pearls is like- crying one singular time or showing anything remotely akin to uncomfortable) and some memory problems, which is pretty important for Pearls to have to like… do their job. As a result, she’s clumsy, forgetful, and often loses things in her gem if asked to store them.

She’s still Pearl-y though, very polite, obedient, loyal, good at dancing and singing, friendly albeit a bit talkative, so the Peridots thought it was probably okay. When Pearl was given to the high-class Spessartite Garnet she was made for, the Garnet had her for like a WEEK before crankily giving her back and demanding a new one.

The Peridots really didn’t know what to do with her. They COULD shatter her, but Pearls made for high-class gems are made with better quality materials, and it would be such a waste of a relatively okay Pearl. They could probably sell her to a lower class gem for a low price, but god knows what those low class barracks gems would do to her, and again, she’s made with good quality materials. They were so torn over it they actually consulted Yellow Diamond.

Yellow said ‘why are you even talking about this to me. Shatter her, send her to a harvesting plant. I don’t care’. So, in the harvesting plant she went.

| Meeting Amethyst

So she’s is in there, sitting on the conveyor and waiting for her demise. She’s feeling fine, it’s a shame that she had to go so fast, but she’s okay. Well, that’s until she feels something sharp jab into her back, so she releases her form and goes into her gem.

When Pearl reforms, she’s in an unfamiliar place, she’s sitting on a desk with a sheet over it and where the actual hell is she??? Hello??? She slips down and crawls under the desk where it’s darker, freaking out a bit because she’s just been kidnapped. She is so freaked out, actually, that she didn’t even notice the Amethyst quietly watching her in the corner of the workroom.

| Present-ish

Since the day she was kidnapped from the harvesting facility by Amethyst, Pearl’s been hanging around her. What other choice does she have, really? Pearls are objects on Homeworld, she can’t go out and live on her own or anything, so she’s kind of stuck with her.

Amethyst isn’t too bad to her personally, in fact Amethyst is quite nice to her, but Amethyst does some shady business. Amethyst is a police officer who also dabbles in the Homeworld equivalent of the black market. Amethyst has a weird infatuation with Pearls, and since again Pearls are objects on Homeworld, Amethyst likes to buy or borrow Pearls to experiment on? Which Pearl just has to deal with, no complaints, because she’s just a Pearl! No matter how awful it makes her feel on the inside to have to help with that.

As her and Amethyst’s story goes on, Pearl grows more comfortable in herself and works on her ability to have her own opinions and thoughts. It doesn’t end with her leaving Amethyst- again, there’s nowhere for her to go until era 3- but it does end in a more healthy relationship between the two.

Book Review

Title: I Will Break You (duet, book 1)

Author: Gigi Styx

Genre: Dark Romance

Length: 572 pages

Plot: 4.5/5

Characters: 5/5

World Building: 4/5

Spice: 5/5

Overall: 4/5

Recommend? Yes, with caution

Definitely mind the triggers with this one. I had to Google a few so at least I'm not as depraved as I originally thought!

Mental health was pretty well written and I have not yet read a book in this genre that described it so well. I personally felt pretty represented, especially during conversation exchanges where your real world struggles are minimized or dismissed with options of medication adjustments which are talked about instead.

Safe to say I'm identifying pretty hard there and I don't want to accidentally lead to spoilers.

It is awesome to see Xero get his own book after his supporting role in Breaking Rosalind.

Major plot twist at the end and right before a cliffhanger! With that said I am excited to see how Xero and Amethyt's story ends.

Hello ria!! I've been reading hate and I'm loving it! But... after Hate3 I think I have feelings for Namjoon. But don't mind me and my questionable taste in men 💀

I also wanted to know, when are you updating Obsidian and Amethyt?? (if you don't want to answer it's ok, I was just curious 🥹)

I hope you went to sleep after posting!! It's kinda late where I am too

-🔮

Hello 🔮!!

Well first of all, let me thank you for reading and taking the time to send me this message 💗 It means a lot.

About Hate!Namjoon well.. all I can say is that he will give us all more than just the feels. *wink wink*

About O&A I’m planning on starting to write the last part of chapter one this week. So maybe we’ll have an update by the end of next week!

Thank you again, you’re so sweet! And yeah, now I’m going to sleep!

Ria 💗

Brief Introduction of Amethyst

Amethyst, derived from the Greek word, meaning“ easily broken”chemically composed of SiO2.

Tripartite crystal system, the crystal is hexagonal column, the column surface is horizontal, there are left and right shapes, double crystals are very common. Hardness 7. Crystals often contain irregular or pinnate gas-liquid two-phase inclutions. Is the most expensive member in the crystal family, because the crystal crystal contains Mn and Fe3 and appears purple. It is transparent and has obvious polychromaticity when observed under dichroic lens.

Physical properties

The color of amethyst has long been considered to be caused by the mixing of high-valent iron or manganese, titanium and other pigment elements; but when heated to 240~270 ℃, the purple disappears and becomes yellowish brown and brown; and it can be irradiated by roentgen rays. The original purple can be restored, so some people think that it is an optical phenomenon caused by a certain defect in the internal atomic arrangement. Amethyst is in China, the five elements are wood, and the Xiluan array is purified. Synthetic amethyst, its color is uniform, does not contain gas-liquid inclusion; natural amethyst color distribution is uneven, irregular flake spread, and often contains gas-liquid inclusion. Amethytes are mainly formed in hydrothermal veins under lower temperature and pressure conditions.

Origin

Amethyst is widely distributed all over the world, and the following areas are the main producing areas.

Uruguay

The amethyst produced in Uruguay has always been the most advanced color of purple in amethyst. This purple is very deep, very delicate and charming, with a burgundy“fire”. Close to discontinuation, it is a must-have item in high-end jewelry stores around the world.

South Korea

The color is also very deep, but the main color is somewhat“blue-purple”. This is also a kind of delicate and pleasing color. Unfortunately, the output is also getting less and less.

Zambia

Zambian amethyst usually has small particles and few clarity, but the tone is strange, with a beautiful red tone in purple. It will not be black even when worn from a distance, so it is of high value, but unfortunately the output is not large.

Brazil

Brazilian amethyst produces the most. Generally speaking, the color is not the highest grade. Many halftones are either too light or slightly darker purple with black tones, but occasionally you will find good ones with delicate and charming colors. The vast majority of amethyst products on the market come from Brazil.

China

The producing areas of amethyst in China can be listed as follows: Shanxi amethyst has a history of mining for 100 years, mainly distributed in Wutai Mountain, Hengshan Mountain, Yanbei and Luliang Mountain. In Xinghe County, Inner Mongolia, crystals are produced in the quartz veins of the granite pegmatite veins, mainly smoke crystals, with a very small amount of amethyst; and Amethyst is also produced in Alaben and Guyang counties of Bayan Naoer League. Xinjiang amethyst is produced on the edge of the Tarim platform. Amethyst is mainly produced in granite and hydrothermal quartz veins. The amethyst in Yunnan is distributed in Shigu and central Yunnan in the southern section of Ailao Mountain, as well as Lijiang, Fengke, Mashidi, Honghe, Mulong River, Bimiao, Yuanyang Luojiazhai and other places, with large crystals and good quality. The amethyst production area in Henan is mainly distributed in Nanyang, and Xinyang and Zhumadian also have a small amount of output. In Shandong, the main producing area of amethyst is Dashuichang, Mazhan Township, Yishui.
