Did you know some believe that far back in the ancient lands, the famed beauty, Cleopetra wore peridots as her signature gem? It’s true. Like the diamond, the peridot grows deepest in PnF’s vast lands and is only brought to the surface for discovery by the rumbling, rolling, shifting plates below, jolted by underground volcanic activity. Peridots are mainly found on a very tiny, out of the way island, by the name of Peridota. Prized and coveted, it’s no wonder such a fierce beauty would claim the gem as her own. Will you?

There’s a monster in the sea, they said, a monster in the sea. There’s a nightmare down below, they said, a nightmare where down you go. And the sea foams greatly now, his tentacles are thrashing. And the sea foams wildly now, where the waves are loudly crashing.

Oh hush now, hush now, can’t you see, the giant dances in the sea, he’s dancing just for you … he’s dancing just for me. He’s big and wily, a giant in the deep, he’s a poet in motion, his silent song can make you weep.

Oh hush now, can’t you see, the giant dances in the sea … And the sea foams greatly now…

Did you know green is a trolls favorite color? Not just any green, the greenest green, vermarine green. That’s why trolls guard the vermarine quartz mines and are most reluctant to share. To be given a gift of vermarine quartz from a troll means he holds you in the highest esteem, or he just really wants whatever he’s trading it for, but let’s stick with high esteem. The trolls are just a little bit colorblind, you see. That’s why so many of them don’t match. I bet you’ve noticed that already, right? Oh, haven’t seen one up close to know? Take our word for it, trolls are a walking billboard for fashion don’t. But, they can see green, every shade of green, and vermarine quartz is the greenest green and they would know, of course. So, even if you love green and you love quartz, best be careful about how you come by your next piece of vermarine quartz. The trolls remember every piece.

I'm an emerald. Here's something I bet you didn't know about me: the Emperor Nero was short-sighted, so he used one of my relatives as a lens to watch the gladiators. I wonder if he thought all gladiators were green?

I'm a beautiful leaf-green peridot. Lighter and yellower in tone than the emerald, I like to remind people of the springtime.

I am a most excellent piece of jade all the way from China. As the Chinese discovered many hundreds of years ago, I am not only beautiful but useful; I can be made into vases, fans and other items, not just jewellery.

I am malachite, a form of copper ore; it is the copper that gives me my distinctive green colour (just like Mr Spock's blood). If you like, I can go into a long technical explanation about how my beautiful bands form. Yes, I'm jewellery for geeks and very proud of it!

I'm azurite, one of the more unusual semi-precious stones. I'll even double as a planet for you, just in case you don't have enough to choose from!
