Any ideas as to what kind of weaponry Lopezite, Trona, and Radiolarite would all have?

Lopezite: According to this site, Lopezite is a stone of love and relationships. “[It] draws love into your life, increase sexuality, libido, fertility, great for use during love and relationship readings. Enhances creativity and sexuality. Proven very useful for putting fire back into a relationship, or drawing in new excitement. Puts one’s thoughts into a sexual mindset. Used in the treatment of disorders of the reproductive system. Enhances fertility”. Because it is a symbol of love and relationships, a bow and arrow could work. As the gem also helps sexuality and libido, whips may be used if your gem is rather expressive. The metaphysical properities of this stone have a lot to do with drawing things in. In this case, you could give them weapons that would drag an opponent to Lopezite. Some suggestions include grappling hooks, hookshots, a regular hook (or like a fishing hook), a gauntlet that also acts like a grappling hook that grabs opponents, and lassos. 

Trona: Trona is used to produce soda ash, which is used to make  sodium cyanide. With this, your gemsona could use toxic bombs as weapons. The toxin can effect gems by absorbing their energy with the added blast to potentially destroy their physical form.  This is a bit of an odd suggestion, but because it come from the word natrum, which is a native salt, I thought of a saltshaker minigun. Another odd suggestion is that trona is also used for baking soda. If your trona has a baker theme, they could use giant spoons, hand blender (or one of those electric pastry blenders), or whisks. One final weird suggestion (which will have to tie with an additional ability) is trona is used for glass. Mod Peridot and I thought that they could use an hour glass, manipulating time with the soda ash/salt that’s contained inside it. And as a final suggestion in general, because trona is used to make glass, a glass blowpipe could work. Instead of attacking directly, they can create small glass monsters or replicas of gems to fight for them (think of as a rat piper scenario).

Radiolarite: Radiolarites were used for stone tools during prehistoric times so you could give your gemsona traditional tools like spears. The rock is also a composition of fossils and skeletal remains of dead organisms.  Your weapon can have a skeletal theme, but you could also give them a weapon that’s more suited for trapping gems. These include bear traps, ropedarts, nets, meteor hammers, blow darts, etc.  On its name’s sake, you could give them microphone or megaphone where they use sound waves and their voice to attack. Aside from that, they could use a weapon similar to Lúcio’s Sonic Amplifier from Overwatch where the weapon focuses on shooting sonic projectiles. They could also use radio antennas and have them act like a baton, pole, or rod.
