Uvite

First discovered in Brazil in the early 1920’s, Uvite is a very rare variety of bi color tourmaline currently only found in brazil! Almost always either green and brown, or red and brown, uvite is very similar to another tourmaline species, the much more common dravite. The main difference, and the key way to tell tem apart, is that Dravite can not be bi-color, only uvite has that capability, which sets the two apart, although if uvite forms a majority of a certain color that overwhelms another, it can be near impossible to tell the difference!

Uvarovite

We have talked about many forms of garnet in this book thus far, and now it is time to look at our last, and rarest entry! Uvarovite. First discovered high in the Ural mountains of Russia, a historical source for many gemstones and minerals! Famous for it’s druzy, bright forest green crystals, uvarovite is a favorite of the green garnets! Sometimes fetching as much as $10K for larger, gem quality crystals, it is also one of the most expensive! Since it’s initial discovery, small, near macroscopic crystals have been found in Spain, Portugal, and Germany, but nothing can compare to the beautiful uralian stones! The US states of California, and Washington also produce great specimens! It was especially prized by the early Russian Czars!

Tigers eye

First discovered in Australia in the late 1890’s, tigers' eye is quartzite mineral that is famous for it’s iridescent, concentric banding. Look into the eye of a magnificent tiger. That creature's animal magnetism gleams in this golden-yellow, deeply banded gemstone. Tigereye (also called "tiger's eye stone") is silicified crocidolite in quartz. When it's cut into shapes, that iridescent undulating luster (also called chatoyancy) is as hypnotic as the eye of a tiger. Lower levels of iron during the stone's formation can result in stones with a blue tinge. Maroon forms of tigereye are almost always dyed or heated to create or enhance that shade. Nitric acid is sometimes used to lighten or brighten specimens which are too dark. The eye of the tiger gleams in iridescent splendor. It is more than the thrill of a fight--it is a clear-sighted vision to see past surviva! ;)

Tanzanite

One of the most popular stones for top quality jewelry, as well as professional collections in recent times, tanzanite caused an uproar of popularity when it entered the gem scene in 1967 when gemologist Manuel d’souza stumbled apon it while looking for sapphire deposits! He found these precious blue stones he thought were sapphire were, in fact, an entirely different gem! According to legend, the Maasai herders were actually the ones who originally discovered the stone, when a lightning strike set the surrounding grasslands on fire, revealing the stones just beneath the dirt! Tanzanite’s discovery remains one of the most important in centuries, and has opened a whole new fame to the mineralogical wealth of tanzania! Tanzanite is only found at the base of Mt. Kilimanjaro

Sapphire

The last of the ‘’big 4’’ precious gemstones listed by the GIA, sapphire is perhaps one of the more diverse. Coming in nearly every color of the rainbow, (except red which is ruby), it has been a popular gemstone, as well as a historically significant gemstone, for millenia. First dating back to around 800BC, the ancient persians believed that the sky was made blue by the reflection of sapphires, and were a religiously powerful stone to the catholics, as well as the persian rulers. In 12th century Europe, it became very popular amongst the royals, and was worn in many crowns, talismans, and scepters. Sapphires would once again gain infamy in modern times when prince charles gifted an extravagant sapphire ring to lady princess diana, of wales, who would tragically pass away in a car accident just years later. To this day, sapphires are still an exceedingly popular gem, and will be for centuries to come!

Ruby

The 3rd of ‘’the big 4’’ Ruby is one of few gems listed by the GIA as a precious gemstone, and it has a LOT of history. Although they have been used since antiquity, rubies first became a worldwide thing in medieval europe, where they became beloved for their rich violet and red hues! They were (thought) to have been used in the crown jewels, (these later actually turned out to be spinels) and were prized especially amongst the woman of medieval Europe, the stone would again be popularized centuries later in the 1939 film ‘’the wizard of oz’’ in which the main character, dorothy, is gifted a pair of magical ruby slippers. Today, most rubies come from Sri lanka, and India, where they are prized as one of India's national jewels! They are also the national gem of north macedonia.

Saussurite

Saussurite was first discovered in Mount Blanc some time in between 1760-1778 by Horace Benedict de Saussure (a famed Genevan geologist and mountaineer). It is believed that he originally thought this mineral was actually a variety of Jade. That belief was shared from the time of his death in 1799 all the way up until 1806. That is when Nicolas Theodore de Saussure (his son) correctly identified this mineral as a completely new feldspar, thus naming it in honor of his late father. Since then, this mineral has been found in Canada and Russia!

Sphalerite

Thought to have been discovered as far back as the 1500’s, sphaerite is a typically dense, semi-metallic stone whom’s name comes from the greek word ‘’sphaleros’’ meaning ‘’misleading’’ due to the stone often being wrongly identified as similar stones and minerals like galena, and pyrite. However, the most famous variety of sphalerite is the incredibly rare example of gem quality. Usually a lemon yellow - olive green color, most commonly found in the state of New Jersey of all places. It is very rare to find enough pieces to be cut into gems. Another interesting fact about sphalerite is that it is actually incredibly similar to diamonds. And, in fact, it has a more intense fire than many diamonds!

Angela

## Biography

### Early Life

Like most Angels, Angela is unable to recall her exact moment of birth. However, she was born from five mortal souls being melded together and created in the pure-light emitted from God's pulse. Each of the five chosen souls had died too early, sacrificing their life to save their loved ones'. Each had seen the specter of death, Deurges, just before being taken by death but were plucked away to Heaven by the Angel of their loved ones. Throughout Angela's life she saw visions of the five soul's previous life and felt connected to them and their emotional toils.

Her first mentor in Heaven was Katherine. Katherine warned Angela to never back down against darkness and always show a warrior's spirit in battle. God then guided her in understanding that emotions know nothing of time and are embodied by women. Women act as containers and occasionally need to unleash that emotional element. She discusses how the fire is stoked by anguish, and even life itself is born out of anguish. She explains to give birth to the universe, another child, she must destroy those who stand atop it, namely Deurges, the man that has haunted her since her creation and the five souls that created her. She vowed revenge on Deurges from that point forward and planned on murdering him.

## Biography

### Early Life

Connor's origins are doubtful, as he may as well be the son of either Nyssa al Ghul or Mei Gulong whom Oliver Queen was a lover of both.

Despite this he was raised by Sandra Hawke and her mother and was never aware of his parentage to Oliver Queen. He later learned when he was in a car accident and it was revealed he is the illegitimate son of the billionaire.

### The Arrow

Soon after the revelation he learned that his father is the elmerald archer, Green Arrow and began noting his feats and also began training with a bow and arrow to try and get his father's attention but to no success.

He later confronted his father by interrupting a chase between Green Arrow and Dark Archer and revealed his identity to him and he was later accepted by Green Arrow and let in Team Arrow as a full fledged member.

Two years later, Connor learned from Felicity that his mother was either Mei Gulong (aka Shado) or Nyssa al Ghul which launched Connor into a journey of self discovering and to learn the truth about his mother he infiltrated the League of Assassins. There he rapidly gained a rather high level and trained righ under The Demon's Head himself.

While Connor is still in the League he sends intel to Team Arrow directly to learn of the League's plans.
Ruby in fuchsite

First discovered in India in the 1960’s, ruby fuchsite is a fairly new discovery. A mixture of the mica-stone fuchsite, as well as low quality violet to purple rubies, it is prized for it’s unique occurrence, and is particulary popular in the recent metaphysical community. Due to it’s fairly recent disovery, the stone does not have too much history as of yet, but I expect that will change!

Family: mica/ruby

Rarity: uncommon

Occurrence: india, brazil, sri lanka
