You turn the pages to where you can read about the promising stones.
Ammolite, with its rainbow flecks, is possibly a prismatic stone, but it is hard to establish a baseline. When Ammolite does present magical properties, it is never the same property, even when using pieces from the same block of Ammolite. Some are beginning to call Ammolite 'The Rainbow Roulette' for its unpredictable nature.
Bloodstone has nothing to do with blood, despite its name. Because of its combinations of red and green, it is expected to have qualities for the Jewelcrafter's physical body but has only moderately presented the ability to affect the target's mental and emotional state.
Fire Agate has prismatic properties, and shows to boost all attributes, but at very low levels. An interesting interaction is that Fire Agate does not stack its bonuses with other Fire Agate or other gems. The Jewelcrafter could wear multiple pieces of Fire Agate, but the total bonus barely differs from using just one piece.
Malachite acts differently than one would expect a green stone to behave. It helps with the Jewelcrafter's physical, especially in healing, which is more a trait of red stones. Malachite is therefore theorized to be a stone capable of inverting the properties of other stones.
Meteorite, in that it comes from stones hurled from space, have small amounts of magic. Meteorite can relate to every stone but purple stones that affect Spirits. Not much else is known about Meteorite, as the resources are rare.
Moonstone is not from the moon, nor does it relate to the moon. Moonstones being blue, they in fact relate to the spirit and emotions. What is unique about Moonstone is that it seems to relate to all aspects of blue gemstones, regardless of its adjective. It is therefore becoming thought of as the Blue Prismatic, even though that doesn't really make sense.
Obsidian is like Onyx, and relates to prismatic properties. It can lower a single attribute of the target, depending on its adjective.
Tiger's Eye and Tiger Iron relate to each other as complimentary stones. Depending on the adjective, Tiger's Eye will decrease the target's attribute while Tiger Iron increases the Jewelcrafter's attribute. For example, Delicate Tiger's Eye will slow the target down, whiel Delicate Tiger Iron speeds the user up.
Zebra Stone is another unpredictable stone. Its magical properties do not vary piece to piece, but day to day. One day, a Smooth Zebra Stone can be used to increase the user's creativity, but then used to lower the target's the next. Zebra Stone needs constant monitoring by the Jewelcrafter so as not to lose track of what function is active that day.
"These stones seem really different from all the others," she says. "The Zebra Stone seems almost too tricky to use."
"Yes, these stones seem more about subtlety and tricks than just knowing what they are and how they work."
Then you think.
"Doesn't the clasp of your cloak have a stone in it?" you ask.
"Well, no, it's all on thing," she says.
"But it can probably be made to house a stone," you say. "I'm thinking..."
