 THE JEWEL
Aventurine is a form of quartz, characterised by its translucency and the presence of platy mineral inclusions that give a shimmering or glistening effect termed aventurescence.
The most common colour of aventurine is green, but it may also be orange, brown, yellow, blue or gray. The most rare colour of aventurine is red, and it has been found only in one location in the world, which is located in Northern Ontario, Canada (Eldee, Ontario) near the Quebec border not far West from Temiskaming, Quebec.
Chrome-bearing fuchsite (a variety of muscovite mica) is the classic inclusion, and gives a silvery green or blue sheen. Oranges and browns are attributed to hematite or goethite. Because aventurine is a rock, its physical properties vary: its specific gravity may lie between 2.64-2.69 and its hardness is somewhat lower than single-crystal quartz at around 6.5.
Aventurine feldspar or sunstone can be confused with orange and red aventurine quartzite, although the former is generally of a higher transparency. Aventurine is often banded and an overabundance of fuchsite may render it opaque, in which case it may be mistaken for malachite at first glance.
The name aventurine derives from the Italian "a ventura," meaning "by chance." This is an allusion to the chance discovery of aventurine glass or goldstone at some point in the 18th century. Although it was known first, goldstone is now a common imitation of aventurine and sunstone. Goldstone is distinguished visually from the latter two minerals by its coarse platelets of copper, dispersed within the glass in an unnaturally uniform manner. It is usually a golden brown, but may be stained blue to create "bluestone."
The majority of green and blue-green aventurine originates in India (particularly in the vicinity of Mysore and Madras) where it is employed by prolific artisans. Creamy white, gray and orange material is found in Chile, Spain and Russia. Most material is carved into beads and figurines with only the finer examples fashioned into cabochons, later being set into jewellery.
Further to the McLaren's Bay Mica Stone quarries mentioned above: It was created approximately 3.4 billion years ago when the molten quartz and molten mica came together to create this unique rare semi-precious gemstone. What is more unique is there are 3 colours in this single quarry. It contains red, green, and black, and they all co-exist. This means you occaisionally find a rock with black on one side and green on the other, or green on one side and red on the other. The formation was created deep below the surface, but at some point about 2 billion years ago, the table was thrust upwards on one end which turned it vertically. Then several ice age periods with glaciers moving which polished the top. This makes for an environmentally friendly 100% surface mining without any digging.
Main markets for aventurine are landscape stone, building stone, aquarium, monuments, and jewelry.

 4/23/06; I've found a green gemstone on a morning walk through Durem. It looks like it would fetch me a hefty sum if I traded it off, but I'll keep it for now. With my luck, it'll probably turn out to be a rare egg or something or the sorts the moment after I trade it in.  4/29/06; The gemstone is an annoyance. I don't know why I haven't traded it off yet, but I'm still looking to see what's going to happen. It started glowing tonight. ...Wait, Etansel! I remember Crystal telling me something about the Jumi, but I wasn't listening to her very well. She said something about gemstones.. like.. this. I can finally get rid of this thing! This burden! Wahoo!  4/29/06; Well, that turned out well. Now I have another kid to take care of. Mayu seems to be getting along well with her though, so life moves on... I suppose?

1. Don't post here unless you have my permission. These people have full permission to post.
[x] Etansel staff [Lady Blackpearl]
[x] another Jumi guardian
[x] dropping off a gift *
[x] Halfling Elf
[x] TrinityCowgirl
[x] Gato The Great
* If you are dropping off a gift, please keep it IC [in character]. Keep it to one post please, unless you have been invited to the RP.
2. Please do not ask to buy my Jumi.
Verde is not for sale. Go stalk the thread.
3. Please do not ask to buy / have dibs on my Jumi's children.
Sorry. I don't even know if Verde will ever have children, or whether she will get involved in a romantic relationship or not. Don't bug me, because I will rant and rave and yell at you.
4. Don't ask me when / if cores are available.
I don't know, I am not a staff member. I am only a guardian. If you ask, you will get a swift whack to the head with my GARDEN SPADE OF JUSTICE[tm]. Also, go stalk the thread -- contests, flatsales, and auction information all are processed there.
5. Want RP? PM me or try and catch me at the thread or IM me or SOMETHING.
Having cleared out my inbox of its useless things, I now have room for PMs about RPs, PDs, and anything else. However, this is not an invitation for you to spam my inbox. Please, before you ask for RP, be sure I know you first. Even if we've only chatted once or twice, that's all I need. I love RPs, and will RP with anyone if I have spare time (which I usually do). RPing is not limited to only Legends too, so if you know me and you want to have one of your pets meet Verde, that would be just fine with me.
I'm always on MSN [kimi.dork[at]gmail[dot]com] and AIM [agent mayu | NeoAsileen].
6. Everything here is IC.
Your character does not know the OOC information shared on this front page. They also do not have the knowledge of Verde or Kimiko's diary entries. Ergo, you do not know anything about Verde, Kimiko, or their family unless they've shared their secrets with you IC.
7. The rules at the Etansel HQ apply here too.
You should be able to get this by yourself. If you don't, please allow me to barrage your forehead with large pointy rocks.
8. Don't be a thief.
Legend of Mana is copyright Squaresoft (SukuEni). Etansel, the Bejeweled City is copyright to Rena Ichijouji, and all art unless stated belongs to Rena Ichijouji. Don't steal, because we will freakin' kill you.
9. I can, and will change these rules over time.
To fit Verde and my constantly changing schedule, these rules will be edited occasionally. I have the rights to do so, and please follow accordingly to them.

A long, long time ago,
In a land far away, there was a monster without a name.
The monster wanted a name so badly.
So the monster left to go on a journey to find a name.
But the world was so large that he split into two to make his journey.
One went to the west and the other went toward the east.
The monster who went to the east found a village.
At the entrance of the village there was a blacksmith.
Mr. Blacksmith, please give me your name.
You can't give away your name.
If you give me your name, I'll enter you and give you strength.
Really? If you can make me stronger, then I'll give you my name.
The monster entered the blacksmith.
The monster became Otto the Blacksmith.
Otto the Blacksmith became the strongest one in the village.
But one day he said, "Look at me. Look at me. Look at how large the monster inside of me has become."
Crunch crunch! Munch munch! Chomp chomp! Gulp!
The hungry monster ate Otto from the inside out.
The monster returned to being a nameless monster.
Even when he entered Hans the shoemaker,
Crunch crunch! Munch munch! Chomp chomp! Gulp!
He returned to being a nameless monster.
When he entered Thomas the Hunter,
Crunch crunch! Munch munch! Chomp chomp! Gulp!
He once again returned to being a nameless monster.
The monster came to a castle looking for a wonderful name.
In the castle, there was a sick boy.
If you give me your name, I'll give you strength.
If you can cure this illness and make me strong, I'll give you my name.
The monster entered the boy.
The boy became well.
The kind was so pleased! The prince is well! The prince is well!
The monster liked the boy's name.
He also liked living in the castle.
So even though he was hungry, he endured.
Every day his stomach growled, but he endured it.
However, he was so hungry that one day he said,
"Look at me. Look at me. Look at how large the monster inside of me has become."
The boy ate the king and even his servants.
Crunch crunch! Munch munch! Chomp chomp! Gulp!
Since there was no one there anymore, the boy went on a journey.
He kept on walking for days and days.
One day, the boy met the monster who traveled to the west.
"I have a name. It's a wonderful name, too."
The monster who went to the west said, "I don't need a name. I'm happy even without a name."
We just have to accept that we are monsters without a name.
The boy ate the monster who went to the west.
He finally had a name, but all the people who could call him by that name had disappeared.
And Johann was such a wonderful name, too.

Legend of Mana is a Playstation game created by Squaresoft. Etansel, the Bejeweled City is a breedable pet shop created by the luverly Rena Ichijouji, co-owned by the awesome DS. They both rock, give them your love.
All guardians are <3 -- you guys make this place so much fun! Also, Rena Ichijouji and Faevan draw the female and male art, respectively. Amazing job, guys~! The shop is awesome and it couldn't have happened without all of you. You all play a part in making this place awesome, and I'd just like to say thanks!
Kimi scribbled up these banners with a sharpie and crayolas, and the story in the "reserved" post is titled "The Nameless Monster", by Franz Budapest/Klaus Poppe. Klaus Poppe is a fictional character in the anime/manga Monster, therefore "The Nameless Monster" is also copyright to the person who created Monster.
