Some softer bois! Descriptions under the cut!

FLINT

Before Flint was born, the gems did know about fire, but weren't able to use it. He changed everything, and just snapping his fingers could create flames... well, sometimes too much. Flint is a blacksmith and gave another meaning to metals often found on the island. Obsidian is a cheap weapon, metal is the future and Flint knew. He's rather resistant, but always using hammer and anvil broke him too much, until his inclusions were too tired to put him back together, so, with Wulfenite, decided to apply tungsten to his body. The metal is resistent to extreme heat and gave him extra hardness. Now no one can stop Flint!

KOSMOCHLOR

his name might mean "sky", but the only tall thing he's interested are TREES! He can't build a thing, but he LOVES to cut trees, or just be in the forest and stare at trees... TREES. CUTTING. He's the toughtest of ALL the gems of the Mountain (being closely related to Jade), and cutting wood is like cutting tuna with a breadstick. (this is an italian pun, sorry.) He often helps Carletonite and Kupferblau exploring the island and making friends with Admirabilis. He's carefree, but doesnt think at all before act...

OSUMILITE

The third youngest, but one of the most able to talk and act in ALL the island! Mountain Gems and all the Admirabilis tribes in and around the Island always lived in peace, but never really comunicated with each other. Some gems taught the Admirabilis Kings to speak the gem language, some gems understood Admirabilis language, but nothing more. Until the able and clever Osu came to life, and become the best merchant and businessman... and the only one... He is responsable for the trade of the goods between Gems and Admirabilis, and sometimes even between Admirabilis tribes. He's incredibly good at math and at convincing others, his way of talking is always right, but sometimes he just doesn't think and does whatever he wants. But he's so young, he's still learning...

EOSPHORITE

Before Eos, the Village was just SOOO UGLY... Melan and Cupri, building it, really didnt put fashion in it! Good thing Eos exists, eh! He's THE artist. He knows what's beautiful and what's not. He has no control on the clothing, but who cares about wearing nice things when you can build eternal, marvelous statues and mosaics? He's still working on the aesthetic of the village, but one day he'll be done... maybe... (probably not)

Eos is proud to be "useless" for the old Original Island standards. He's so edgy, even if he's cute and pink!

Minerals: Osumilite

A rare potassium-sodium-iron-magnesium-aluminum silicate mineral, osumilite has the long chemical formula of (K,Na)(Fe2+,Mg)2(Al,Fe3+)3(Si,Al)12O30. It crystallizes in the hexagonal crystal system, and is known as a cyclosilicate.

Osumilite has an unusual double ring structure, with the formula Si12O30 (most silicate rings have the formula (T6O18)-12, where T is a tetrahedrally coordinated cation). In the double ring structure, however, the normal rings share six oxygen atoms, one from each tetrahedron. 

It is usually darker in color, often brown, dark blue, or black, and has a Mohs hardness of 5 to 6. Its name comes from its location of discovery, in volcanic rocks near Osumi, Japan. It has since been found elsewhere, including Oregon in the United States, Italy, and Germany.

@shinydoduo and I came up with this post-fuse-a-palooza thing where we draw each other’s versions of fusions of our OCs.

So here’s my take on Moss Agate, Shiny will be doing Charoite.

@gemsonaresources

This is Charoite. My entry for fuse-a-palooza.

She is a fusion of my OC, Amber( from @orange-topaz) and @shinydoduo‘s OC, Osumilite.

Any fusion Amber is a part of can rearrange their pieces to resemble an earth vehicle. Charoite is no exception. She can turn into an excavator.

Her weapon is an pneumatic hammer with two modes:

The normal mode can drill through rock and can shake up a whole battlefield in a matter of minutes.

The charged mode( pictured) can cut through ship walls and the forms of massive fusions alike in seconds.

Alright @gemsonaresources ’s Fuse-a-palooza! I finally finished my entry, despite university being a pain. This is Moss Agate, the fusion between my Osumilite and @dinomodtriad ’s Amber! Since Amber had some unfortunate cracks filled in with Technetium, they, and their fusions, are a bit of a transformer! So I had to figured out how a machine form would look too, and decided that a building crew’s handy vehicle would have to be a crane with a wrecking ball! A spiky wrecking ball because of Osumilite’s kanabo, and it has quite the punch from Amber’s machine build.

Moss the Agate~ Can we build it? Moss the Agate~ Yes we can! XD

✰ Stage-lit Song ✰

For this prompt I decided I would try and incorporate Osumilite into the Gem Karaoke short. I don’t normally do screen cap inserts but I wanted to see how well Osumilite’s design could hold up against the actual show. I think I did pretty well! Fooled my mom at least XD
