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].

Looking for an alternative to opals?

How about Aurora Opal Doublets

Aurora Opal -

What is an Aurora Opal Doublet? A very good question, an Aurora Opal doublet is a lab created Opal crystal which has almost the same chemical composition as a natural Opal but is made to be more durable for jewellery. Layered carefully with a high quality Clear Himalayan Quartz. These pieces are a work of lapidary art. Our opal is grown in Germany then sent to a one man lapidary team to create magical crystals.

Pieces of little art none are made twice - lightweight and durable

(repost, don’t reblog)

name: Rind

name meaning: She's more or less named after the rind of a fruit

alias/es: Rin/Rinrin, The Shapeshifter, Anklebiter

ethnicity: Eevee

one picture you like best of your chara: I give Rind a lot of love when I draw her! Here are a few of my personal faves that I've done

two h/cs you never told anyone

Rind's favorite gemstones are diamonds, opals, and pearls. She finds herself particularly drawn to the way light and colors tend to manifest and shine in these jewels, especially some lab created white diamonds. By contrast, she finds black diamonds to be terribly dull and are not her first choice of target.

In verses where she cannot evolve and devolve freely, Rind's top choices of evolution are Umbreon, Jolteon, and Leafeon. She likes to consider how an evolution could benefit her career as a jewel thief and feels these three would make the best thieves. At the bottom rung of her consideration is Sylveon, because its white pelt stands out in the dark and she isn't fond of the twirly ribbons and lovey-dovey aspect of that evolution (Guess which one she ends up evolving into)

three things your character likes doing in their free time: 

Count the jewels! If you had a massive haul of gems and jewelry stashed away in your home, wouldn't you stop to admire them every so often? Rind could spend hours counting, polishing, and gazing into her stash!

Annoy the acquaintances. Rind loves plastering herself to people she perceives as overly serious and self-important and finding all the ways she can ruffle their feathers. Silly nicknames, affectionate teasing and handing out deliberately bad advice in hopes they'd be gullible enough to follow it are some of her favorite tactics. In short, Rind is a littol troll ;3c

Raiding trash. It may seem a lowly and filthy way to find food (... and it is) but Rind is consistently surprised to find what humans will throw away. Dumpsters and trashcans near restaurants and supermarkets are her favorite places to root through.

seven people your character likes / loves: Being a lowly varmint with a penchant for thievery and lying, Rind doesn't exactly make many friends

Squirrel (Rind's mother. Despite having a rocky relationship in most verses, they both still care about each other. There's a mother daughter bond in there somewhere...)

Twig and Leaf (Her brothers are the only other family she has besides their mother. They've both led very different lives than her's, but they're still siblings no matter what!

two things your character regrets:

Actually hurting anyone. Rind may be a bit of a bully and has a habit of pushing others around, but she never wants to really hurt anyone. Most of her tough talk is all fluff, she doesn't fight unless she has no choice and will always use non lethal force when necessary. Those few times things got out of hand stay in her head as a reminder to not go too far and to not make any real "friends."

Not trying to leave her family amicably. The last she saw them, Rind got into a fight with her mother and left for the city in a huff. Though she still loves Squirrel and would like to see her after so many years apart, she is both convinced her own mother dislikes her and she wouldn't even know what to say in the first place.

two phobia your character has:

Trains. After a few too many close encounters with them in underground subway stations, Rind is very wary of trains and is mindful of how much a moving train can absolutely destroy anything it hits. If something falls into the tracks, its as good as gone as far as Rind is concerned.

Falling from a great height. Rind doesn't have much to save herself if she fell from too high up. Perhaps, if she is prepared, her Sylveon form could grab onto something with her feelers, or she could safely dive into water below as a Vaporeon. But the risk of being splatted on the pavement keeps her away from high rises and rooftops.

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. Their powerful energies and deep resonance with our physical bodies makes gemstone energy medicine one of the most popular forms of healing today. Throughout history, people have used stones to heal and protect themselves in many different ways. For example, the ancients believed that rubies were able to heal heartaches and promote love and romance. They also believed that amber—though technically fossilized tree resin rather than a stone—was able to transmit color waves, making it the perfect stone for communication with supernatural forces. Other healing gemstones include peridot, which is known for alleviating stress in relationships, lessening anger and jealousy, and slowing aging. Labradorite is associated with light and electricity and can help you feel more connected to the universe. Finally, rhodochrosite ignites your energy to take chances in love and life by encouraging your intuition. Similarly, citrine heightens willpower and encourages you to pursue wealth and success in your career. And, of course, apatite is an excellent remedy for anxiety and depression. Discover Your Lucky Gemstone by Rashi for Success! Gemstones are powerful tools for enhancing your health and transforming your life. They embody concentrated energy that can focus and amplify the body’s natural healing force, making them ideal energy medicine tools. But for gemstones to be effective, they must meet certain quality and purity requirements. In a rough state, most gemstones look like ordinary rocks or pebbles. But once they are shaped and polished, their beauty becomes evident. They come in a variety of colors and hues, and many are prized for their durability and rarity. In astrology, a lucky gemstone can be fixed for an individual using several methods, but the most popular method is based on their ascendant. This method is particularly useful for people who are looking to gain success in their career and business. By wearing a gemstone corresponding to the planet that occupies their ascendant sign, they can balance out the effects of malefic planets such as Saturn, Rahu, and Ketu. In this way, they can ensure that their efforts are successful and that their business is able to thrive. Read the full article

😍💵💍

✨ anonymous. meme. still accepting!

😍 = Does your muse have any crushes? If so, who are they?

vi has several crushes across several verses and all of them are older men that don't like him back lol... all older men with bad attitudes because for some reason that puts the butter on his biscuit. that's just his misfortune... i won't talk about them because i'd rather him do that ic and drop the tea that way because homeboy has secrets and it's funnier to watch him reveal them in real time.

💵 = Is money an important factor to consider when dating? Does your muse prefer rich partners?

you CANNOT be richer than virote so there's no point in him giving a shit. virote's father is worth hundreds of millions and his mother is literally space royalty, like vi has an entire palace on the moon and a kingdom waiting for him to rule in the future like his grandmother has part domain over an exoplanet made completely out of diamond. he doesn't give a fuck about your finances. they're irrelevant because he's richer than god

also the first and last man he got saddled with was rich and we see how that worked out. aka him with an intense substance abuse addiction, mental hospital stays, developing body dysmorphia, being heavily medicated, and therapy that isn't even working for him that well

he doesnt care about a man's net worth or how much they make

just dont emphasize it in the relationship. yeah he throws his weight around with his money sometimes and he'll have rich brat tendencies but idk what one would expect out of someone who's literally an alien prince

money? whatever. bring an interesting personality and excellent dick game and the ability to eat spicy food.

💎 = What kind of gemstone would your muse prefer on their engagement or wedding ring?

virote wants something a little quirky, a little weird… and price doesn’t matter because he values aesthetics over price. he's not fond of diamonds despite the whole family exoplanet thing glkfjgldfk. they hold no value to him, especially compared to rocks like alexandrite and emerald that look way cooler. diamonds are so boring to him like… where’s the FLAVOR? if virote could craft his own engagement ring—which he’s sketched and drawn on his own downtime while daydreaming of settling down a little—it’s definitely be a little unique. with an opal. 

or like pearls, morganite, cat's eye moonstone, star sapphire, angel aura quartz, tourmaline, onyx, lapis lazuli, the options are endless! as long as it's interesting to look at. he likes lab created gemstones and he would also be down for an antique ring found at some secondhand store too.

Who is Opal's biological parent?

Technically no one. She was created using ghost Pokémon and the corpse plus drops of blood of her biological grandmew. She was lab made like her mama and auntie. Koda and the triplets are the only ones so far who are biological children to their parents.

Hope that helps ^^
