Located in Fillydelphia, Equestria, the Kirin's Hoard is a jewelry store of a different flair. It sells a host of gem-based products that are definitely thinking outside the box, or even inside the chimney. Jeweler by trade and Arcanologist by hobby. This kirin unicorn experiments with empathic stimulation magic. He has quite the extensive knowledge of jewels and can have nearly any stone in any size cut and set to your exact specifications within days. He's mates with Annie Konda.

Obsidians-hoard - Obsidian's Hoard - Tumblr Blog

Fun Fact: When I tried to sell this art as a print at Anime Expo, multiple people thought it was a listing of stones I had for sale. Like, yes rebecca, I am selling the toxic cinnabar, the does-not-exist-at-room-temperature antarctictite, and FUCKING DIAMONDS at an ANIME CONVENTION.
…..anyway, read Land of the Lustrous, it’s some good shit.
I know there’s a lot of tension after Tumblr’s new policy annouced for December 17th, but reblog this if you aren’t leaving Tumblr so that other blogs can know they aren’t going to be completely alone!

nwrp-verse!Obsidian and his adopted son Dove decided to dress up as Ludo and Jareth, the Goblin King from the movie Labyrinth. They wanted to get @askscarletrose in on it, but there weren’t really any female characters from the movie with fabulous enough outfits.

PRETTY INCREDIBLE GEODES WEDDING CAKES
Some cake designs using rock candy, with gradients and shades which coexist beautifully - of candy crystals to give the appearance of really gazing into cracked rock. The cakes have height, sparkle and dimension. The best part? What looks like geodes are still made of candy. …Geodes are those hollow rocks filled with sparkling crystals and minerals, used to make jewelry, and decorate homes.
SO CUTE!

The Goldilocks of Gold Crystalarium’s 22 Karat Collection
http://bit.ly/2vBIqt9
Why 22 karat, you ask? Well, it’s not JUST because it’s mesmerizing and opulent and 0h-so-very yellow. There is actually a very technical reason that 22k is a favorite here at Crystalarium: it has the perfect malleability for the execution of the most intricate and delicate designs. It is the Goldilocks of Gold. Pure gold is so soft that it can easily become warped just by wearing it; and lower karat alloys, such as 18 and 14k, are simply too hard to execute certain designs. 22 karat is juuust right.
Our 22k collection is characterized by extremely intricate metalwork- including filigree and granulation- a complex and painstaking process thought to have been developed in Sumeria over 5,000 years ago. The rings and pendants are designed here, but the metalwork is executed by craftsmen in Bali, home to some of the finest goldsmiths in the world. Once the pieces are completed they are sent to us and the original gemstones are then set by our jeweler.
This collaborative process has yielded the collection we are sharing today: a sumptuous assortment of dazzling and luxurious jewelry that is sure to captivate…

Sunset Fire Opal, The following is a Mexican fire opal. When illuminated just right, it looks like a sunset above the clouds. This picture was taken by Jeff Schultz.



Having formed at great depths and only available to us after traveling to the surface of the earth in a lava flow and subsequentially weathering out of their rocky host, Peridot crystals make quite a journey to get to us. Because of this process, Peridot crystals always show some degree of surface wear and will never display the crisp, geometric edges of minerals that can be mined in their primary formation. Despite this geological joy-ride, some Peridot crystals can be found with a distinct crystal form- and this is one of them! A particularly bright green and featuring notable brilliance considering the material, this perfectly petite natural peridot crystal is an attractive and desirable specimen.<br><br>Origin is Pakistan.
