Lace Goldstone

Lace Goldstone is a "perfect" Pseudomorph created by Chrysolite near the end of her modification experiments. She escaped being bubbled, and is currently still on Pandora.

## History

As Green Lace Jasper, Lace Goldstone's life was fairly uneventful, until she met Chrysolite. The Peridot quickly befriended her, and eventually convinced her to take part in one of her modification experiments. The experiment went perfectly, and Lace Goldstone emerged nearly identical to a proper Goldstone. Chrysolite was pleased, but nevertheless attempted to bubble Lace Goldstone to prevent them being found out. However, Lace Goldstone shrieked to plead for mercy, the scream paralyzing both Chrysolite and her nearby Pearl. This allowed the Pseudomorph to slip out of the ship unopposed, hiding in the Pandoran jungle.

Due to her location, Lace Goldstone witnessed firsthand the sudden destruction of Pandora. She deduced this would destroy her too, but, knowing she would have nowhere to go, stayed and accepted her fate—a fate that, thanks to Scapolite's intervention, would not be realized. After discovering she was spared, she stayed on Pandora, befriending some of the other off-colors that chose to make the ruined planet their home.

## Abilities

Lace Goldstone has standard Gem abilities, due in part to her Pseudomorphing. She is a "perfect" Pseudomorph, meaning she has all the abilities of her new Gem type as well as some residual abilities from her former Gem type.

### Natural Abilities

* **Superhuman Strength:** Due to formerly being a Quartz, Lace Goldstone is stronger than the average Gem; however, her strength has been slightly "diluted" by her modifications.

### Unique Abilities

* **Paralyzing Shout:** Thanks to her modifications, Lace Goldstone can paralyze a Gem simply by yelling at them, rendering them mute and immobile for a few minutes. She used this ability on Chrysolite to enable her escape.

## Gemology

### Green Lace Jasper

* Green lace jasper, sometimes called "Australian green lace jasper," is a trade name for a variety of brecciated jasper that is entirely green, giving it a resemblance to reptilian scales.
	+ Green lace jasper is sometimes called "frog skin jasper," but this seems to be a misnomer, as "actual" frog skin jasper tends to be a light green with dark spots.
	+ Though information is sparse, since it is occasionally referred to as **Australian** green lace jasper, it can be assumed that the stone originates from Australia.
* Jasper is an aggregate mineral consisting primarily of chalcedony, or microcrystalline quartz.
* Jaspers are a historical birthstone of March and are associated with the base chakra, regardless of the type.
* Green lace jasper in particular is associated with serenity and mental clarity.

### Goldstone

* Goldstone is neither a stone nor does it contain gold; it is a man-made glass (SiO2) infused with copper particles. The blue color comes from the addition of cobalt, manganese, or chromium.
* Despite being entirely man-made, goldstone is associated with metaphysical properties.
* Goldstone is considered a protective stone from unwanted energies and supposedly stimulates the nervous system.
