What is your favorite rock

like, gemstones? if so, i have a variety of favourites!!

SO. FIRST. I FUCKING LOVE MOONSTONES I have like multiple moonstone necklaces irl!! I also have a tiny little moonstone I bought too!! :) it's one of my faves, it's so gorgeous in the light it creates those rainbow shadows it's genuinely so gorgeous dude
SECOND!!! I looove emeralds they're gorgeous I love that green so much. been obsessed with them ever since I remember. I used to go by emerald on the internet at some point here's some josiah lore
THIRD!!! Aventurine .... thank you aventurine honkai star rail for making me discover this gem it is yet another favourite of mine its color is so gorgeous again I fuck with that type of green sooo much AND ALSO it's connected to a favourite character of mine so bonus points for that. thank you aventurine
FOURTH!!! does obsidian count? it does now. I don't need to explain much honestly it's just very gorgeous to look at. I've always been obsessed with darker things too sooo. ALSO MINECRAFT OBSIDIAN PROOOBABLY HAS AN INFLUENCE ON ME LIKING IT? PROBABLY... Oh yeah I also think it's cool how in ancient times people would use obsidian for their tools, I'd love to cut up with my steak with an obsidian knife dude
SPEAKING OF DARK GEMS.... FIFTH ONE!! ONYX i ain't got much to say again it's just gorgeous and I love it it's so pretty under the light
SIXTH!!! AMETHYST!!! I looove amethyst I've always loved purple so this is obviously going to be a fave of mine. it is so gorgeous both in color and in presentation dude like have u seen those huge chunks of amethyst???? yea. Yeah. it's awesome. I fucking love amethyst. I think my liking towards amethyst was also influenced by my fondness of amethyst from steven universe, she was one of my favourites because I would see myself in her because she was one of the first non skinny character in media I've seen that wasn't made fun of!!! she's confident!! she's fucking rocking it!!! I loved her so much and I still very much do, she holds a dear place in my heart and I think she honestly changed a lot of people too. notice how after SU there's been more diverse characters? yeah. yeah. exactly.
NEEEXXTTTTTT seventh? yeah seventh UMM ROSE QUARTZ Yet again influenced by steven universe. i fucking love rose quartz/pink diamond's character so much you don';t understand. she Too has influenced me a lot and I love that she's presented as beautiful and ethereal, her fatness is embraced in a way? i love her so much in general SU has influenced me a lot in regards to my body confidence. I in general also really love the color of rose quartz, it's my one of my all time fave shades of pink!! even though I myself am not the biggest pink guy..
speaking of rose/pink, i love diamonds. but who doesn't love them? NEXXTTTT
i looove pearls I have always been in touch with the sea and pearls from the ocean so of course I love them. there's something so? divine about them? I can't describe it but they just pull me in... also another SU influence.. I have a little pearl bracelet irl that i bought from pearls from ym native country and it's so cool. they're not the typical round shaped ones they're those smaller ones and even though they're not high grade pearls, i love them. they hold a lot of meaning to me because i got them on a trip i went with my classmates
moreeeeeee SU influence incoming.. I fucking love jasper it's so diverse and pretty. it features my favourite shades of red brown orange yellow green etc etc this stone is truly so diverse i adore it so much. I used to be not that fond of it, but it has grown on me quite a lot. also, I'm an aries, and one of the gemstones for aries is jasper!! that's cool, ain't it? (the rest of them are diamond, bloodstone, topaz and amethyst if you wanna know a fun little fact hehe.)
i looove bismuth aswell. always been so fond of it, it's just so fucking interesting dude what an alien ass fucking crystal. that's crazy. it forms such cool shapes like how is this something from earth? and i loooove its shades aswell like holy fucking shit. this is truly the gemstone of my dreams tbh i want some bismuth jewellery sooo bad you don't even get it. also more SU influence SORRY. SU HAS MADE A WHOLE LOT OF IMPACT ON ME.

but ummmm YEAH THIS? SHOUDL BE ALL OF IT? I CAN'T THINK OF MORE STONES....
these aren't really in a proper order, it's more so just ones I thought of first while writing this!! also sorry for the ramble I didn't realize I had this many favourite gems Oopsie. have fun reading all that
