These big gems are generally mild mannered and solitary. They also come in cats eye varieties. The clearer the gemstone the rarer they are. Though they are big they are not fighters and can be quite brittle.

These cheery little gems are made for the sole purpose of keeping other gems happy. Sadly this often means that their own morale is low. They have control over a dark mist that can be used to make wings for flight or to incapacitate other gems. If a gem comes into contact with this mist they first feel very tired and then poof.

Here’s a guide to goldstones for anyone who wants to make one. Most of the time they have smooth, round, gems but they can have faceted cuts too. Not as strong as their quartz predecessors they are still naturally strong and durable. They are predisposed to wearing loose fitting clothing that they can move easily in. A physical feature they all share are freckles, no matter their color.
