#enhydro quartz

[reddpenn]

Skeleton quartz with a very tiny bubble in the exact center! Do you see it moving around inside its little fluid pocket?

Skeleton quartz is a type of hopper crystal, a crystal whose faces grow much faster at the edges than at the center. This leaves hollow gaps at the center of the faces. In skeleton quartz, these gaps are called "windows."

This piece has an open window which extends down deep into the quartz, through many layers of growth. It also has a closed window - a place where a window used to be, but the quartz grew a complete face over top of it, sealing it off. When windows close like this, they can trap air, fluid, or bits of particulate like carbon or clay inside. This quartz crystal grew in clay, so the closed window has clay trapped inside it.

That's also how our little air bubble ended up in there! He's trapped inside a small window which closed when this quartz was much younger.

What a pretty little specimen!!!

“Being a particular kind of enhydro, doubly terminated quartz crystals containing negative crystals filled with petroleum, methane, bitumen, and water, are rare, though material of very good quality appears on gem and mineral fairs on a regular basis. Under ultraviolet radiation the petroleum inclusions present in the material reveal a strong fluorescent reaction.”

The gems of Cyan Diamond’s court, or rather, her entourage and friends.

———————

Kyanite

Cyan Diamond’s closest advisor

A high ranking gem, Kyanite uses her status to help advise her Diamond on the ever changing state of Paragon and it’s empire. She ranks above the Cyan Court Garnets and Agates, as well as it’s Sapphire. She takes all of their opinions and knowledge into account before delivering reports and advise.

Kyanite is a very intelligent gem, knowledgeable on gem culture and politics. She is often the one to handle smaller matters throughout the court. Snowfall Sapphire and Enhydro Agate often report smaller issues to her. She manages Cyan’s garnets as well, making sure they are fit to defend Paragon against any threat.

Personally, Kyanite is a kindhearted gem, though is protective and loyal to her Diamond to an extreme degree. Infact, it was Kyanite who saved Cyan Diamond and her Pearl from a band of rebel assassins.

Deep Sea Pearl

This is Cyan Diamond’s Pearl, often nicknamed “Sea” to differentiate her from others. She holds the role of being her Diamond’s personal attendant, Secretary and confidant, tailoring to Cyan’s every need.

Outwardly Sea seems very shy and quiet, though getting to know her would reveal a gem who takes delight in seemingly silly, meaningless things. She loves to watch sunrises and to observe the stars, and has a small interest in sculpting and creating art. However, Sea is sure to keep her small hobbies away from prying eyes, not wanting to be seen as “too airheaded” to be a Diamond’s Pearl.

Silently she does wish for more, wanting to help her Diamond with her growing duties. However, with the addition of an Angel Aura Quartz to Cyan Diamond’s permanent following, Sea has grown an interest in fighting to defend her Diamond as well.

Snowfall Sapphire

Cyan Diamond’s first and only Sapphire, Snowfall was a gift from Black Diamond from when Cyan’s court was first taking form 9,000 years ago. Snowfall is the only Sapphire to reside within Cyan’s section of Paragon, and is also the only sapphire in Cyan’s entourage.

Sapphires on Paragon are an enigma in general, most only being present in Black Diamond’s court to assist with interpreting her visions. Of those Black gives to her fellow Diamonds, they are usually specially designed to match their courts with slightly weaker future vision, so the Diamonds still depend on Black.

However, Snowfall managed to slip through Black’s rigorous gifting standards, her vision being just as powerful as a standard sapphire’s. Too focused on her own ambitions, Black has not yet noticed her mistake of granting Cyan such a powerful Sapphire.

Seen as a sort of “fashion icon” in Cyan’s court, many aristocrats within aspire to be like Snow in her coolheaded manner. She is the main representative of the aristocrats within the court, reporting their needs and grievances to Kyanite who decides whether or not it should be an issue brought before Cyan Diamond. She also acts as an advisor to her Diamond when needed.

Angel Aura Quartz

This particular Angel Aura Quartz is an exceptionally made gem, being taller and stronger than the others in her Facet. After a rebel attack against Cyan Diamond and her Pearl, Angel was assigned to be her Diamond’s body guard, while the rest of her cut became extra bodyguards when needed, and guard Cyan Diamond’s palace and personal ship.

Angel is Stoic and rigid out of fear, afraid that stepping out of line would mean the punishment of others in her cut. She views them as siblings, and would do anything for them. This being said, she is incredibly dedicated to her work, refusing to take breaks even for her own sanity.

Recently, Angel and Cyan Diamond’s Pearl have grown a small bond of sorts, both sharing sentiments in how dedicated to their roles they each are. They are also always at their Diamond’s side, only adding to their growing friendship.

Enhydro Agate

Cyan Diamond’s top Agate, and security advisor. While Cyan’s court agates mostly consist of Holly Blue, Blue Lace, and standard Blue Agates, Enhydro is a rare and unique variant. She mostly sees to managing the lowest ranking gems in Cyan’s Palace, as well as other Agates within the court as a whole.

Enhydro is often gossiped about by the other Agates, who are jealous of her close standing with their Diamond. This has made Enhydro paranoid and insecure, wanting to appear “perfect” to everyone on Paragon.

She is also the overseer of Cyan Diamond’s personal cut of Angel Aura Quartzes.

Petroleum quartz, also known as golden enhydro, is a unique and relatively rare variety of quartz crystal. It's known for containing trapped pockets of fluid, often identified as ancient petroleum, within its crystal structure.
