Sunstone

requested by @dougtay796

Color: Sunstone’s color could be red, orange, brown, pink. It gets its glitter-y look by inclusions of the mineral Hematite, or sometimes also Goethite or Pyrite and in one rare instances, Copper.

Mohs: 6 - 6.5

Note: Sunstone is a feldspar. Sunstone can be in one of two mineral classes, so ill put in the chemical formula for those.

Chemical formula of Microcline: KAlSi3O8

Chemical formula of Oligoclase: (Na,Ca)Al1-2Si3-2O8

Metaphysical properties: It dispels fears and phobias, brings leadership qualities, and decreases stress and helps people with depression. Its also said to bring good luck, openness, compassion, warmth, strength, and mental clarity. Sunstone is known as a joyful stone, it inspires a nurturing nature in order to be of service to others. It restores the enjoyment of life, and good nature. 

As a gem in Steven Universe I believe that Sunstone would be an optimistic, nurturing gem a ray of sun shine. They would help their friends by telling jokes, giving them advice, or giving them a shoulder to cry on. Basically playing the role of mom friend and therapist friend. They would also function well with in really dire situations, like trying to get other gems to safety during a raid or trying to guide a group of quartzes out of enemy territory after wandering to far in. They would try to be honest but if the truth might hurt somebody they would bend it a little. They would feel bad about it still. They would be very open about their feelings but this openness might result in sharing something that didn't really needed to be shared. I believe a good job in home would for them would be a jester type gem, a rescuer, or maybe a nurse so they could help with gems that are still regenerating or ones that have ships or cracks in them.   

Where found: Australia, Canada, China, Congo, India, Mexico, Norway, Russia, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, and the United States. The most famous sunstone deposits in the United States are located in Oregon.

Moonstone (Moonstone feldspar)

requested by @crystaldevotion878

Note: I written this post already to day, I let my mom borrow my laptop and she closed the tab I had this on, I died a little on the inside when I saw. The first one was better.  

Colors: Usually transparent or translucent, with white, blue, green, yellow, orange, brown, pink, purple, gray

Mohs: 6 - 6.5

Moonstone can fit in a lot of families of feldspar. Chemical formula of Plagioclase Feldspar: (Na,Ca)Al1-2Si3-2O8

Chemical formula of Orthoclase Feldspar: KAlSi3O8

Metaphysical properties:  Helps inner growth and strength.  It soothes emotional instability and stress, and stabilizes the emotions, providing calmness.  Moonstone enhances intuition, promotes inspiration, success and good fortune in love and business matters.

Since we haven't been told about where feldspars are in homeworld society or in just Steven Universe this wont be the most accurate. For personality, I think she would be very mature, calm, could figure out problems very quickly and creatively. She would give good relationship advice and would work well with others. I think she would be in blue diamonds court, maybe she could be an architect or maybe paint portraits of high class gems.

Where found: Brazil, Germany, India, Madagascar, Mexico, Burma, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, and America.

Zebra Jasper

Requested by @crystaldevotion878

Colors: dark, jagged stripes that are usually black or brown with background colors that are either white, gray or tan.

Mohs: 6 - 6.5

Chemical formula of quartz: SiO2

Metaphysical properties:  shows true nature of people. Helps people see past illusion. Brings love in the universe. Zebra jasper brings a sense to people that they can never run out of Divine love or energy, and that in the end, everything will be ok. Helpful in relationships, the workplace, and other environments that involves relating to people and working with them.

In Steven Universe I think it would translate as Zebra Jasper would be able to detect a lie from a mile away and helps point them out for people. If she were to join the crystal gems she would be one of the first to join since she would be one of the first ones to see something wasn't right with homeworld. If she was a part of homeworld she would be responsible for catching spies from the rebellion, would do well in predicting where the crystal gems were going to attack next. I believe she would be an optimist, been a romantic if she were in a relationship, she would still push on even if it was obvious the army she was in wasn't gonna win, and would try to keep her army’s spirits up. She would give good relationship advice and would always be the gem to break up fights if one broke out in her own army. 

Where found: Australia, Brazil, Canada, Egypt, India, Kazakhstan, Madagascar, Russia, Uruguay and America.

Aventurine

Colors: The most common color of Aventurine is green, but it may also be orange, brown, yellow, blue, or gray due to inclusions. Oranges and brown Aventurines are caused by inclusions of hematite or goethite. Aventurine is often banded and a lot of fuchsite may render it opaque, which makes it be mistaken for malachite at first glance.

Mohs: 6.5 - 7

Chemical formula for quartz: SiO2  

Chemical formula for hematite: Fe2O3

Chemical formula for goethite: FeO(OH)

Chemical formula for fuchsite:  K(Al,Cr)2(AlSi3O10)(OH)2

Metaphysical properties: enhances creativity, and imagination, as well as intellect and mental clarity, prosperity, friendship. Brings luck, especially in games of chance.

I think this would translate to a gem that is creative, a thinker, maybe a philosophical like gem? But since Aventurine is a quartz it would most likely have been a warrior gem. But probably looked deeper in the reason why they were fighting. They would probably be lucky, but in away they wouldn't notice like instead of winning the lottery they would never trip during a battle. Smarter aventurines would most likely use their luck and knowledge to count cards.

Where found: most green and blue-green aventurine originates in India. Aventurines that are creamy white, gray and orange is  found in Chile, Spain and Russia.  

Extra fact: The name aventurine derives from the Italian word "a ventura" meaning "by chance."
