Revamped my three gem fusion, Celestine

(base)

Nicknames: Slack Pack, Celeste

Pronouns: they/them

Fusion of: Sodalite, Hübnerite, and Kunzite

VA: Faye Mata (in a constant yelling kind of way) with the faint voices of their components behind Maya’s main voice.

Other facts about them:

Still lazy like before, but now in a “the band is nothing without me!”/“I’m so good I don’t even need to practice!” kind of way. They don’t technically have a weapon, but the guitar and their fists work when needed. Not a super stable fusion tbh and is thus rarely used outside of battle.

However, if you hear an epic guitar riff on the battlefield, it’s already too late for you.

Design note: has a two band ponytail like Eudialyte

Hi guys, my name is Aaron and I run an online mineral merchantry! My business is primarily on Instagram, but I’m also going to start establishing my presence here on tumblr as well!

I specialize in Chinese minerals, and my focus is on quartz (though I do carry other things as well)!

Here’s a list of what’s shown above:

1. Fluorite on Wolframite with Hübnerite expressions from Yaogangxian, China (this piece was a part of the porcelain fluorite find in late 2021-early 2022.

2. Fluorite from Xianghualing, China

3. Calcite on Calcite from Anhui, China

4. Quartz and Hematite from Guangdong, China (old find)

5. Quartz and Hematjte from Guangdong (same find as 4)

6. Hematite coated quartz from Anhui, China

7. Calcite and Pyrite over Fluorite from Yaogangxian, China

Wolframite

Relation to Norton

Black leather -> wolframite is typically dark brown or black

The yellow on his arm -> likely pyrite aka fool’s gold

Description: “Like courage and dreams, the more it shines, the easier it collects dust.” -> Meaning: As something gains prominence, it becomes more susceptible to accumulating “dust”. “Dust” can refer to things like obstacles, criticisms, setbacks, or other negative influences that might tarnish its “shine”. More visibility or success means a higher likelihood of encountering challenges or distractions. It’s a reminder to be prepared for difficulties while maintaining focus and determination in the face of obstacles, while also acknowledging the inherent vulnerability that comes with standing out. This is fitting for Norton considering he did have big dreams (to escape poverty) but has continued to run into obstacles and other challenges along the way. We also know Norton is a stubborn person who is incredibly determined to achieve his goal.

Notes

Wolframite is a mineral that is the main source of tungsten (an element), a valuable but rare metal, one of the strongest on the planet (especially in its harder alloy form Tungsten Carbide) due to having the highest melting point and tensile strength (aka, the resistance of a material to breaking under tension) of any pure metal on the planet (though it is brittle and known to shatter on impact) and a high score on the Mohs hardness scale.

Tungsten is used in the production of ballistic missiles and drills, electrical filaments, armor piercing ammunition, radiation shielding, etc…

It is a mineral series that includes ferberite (iron-rich) and hübnerite (manganese-rich). Wolframite sits closer to the middle of the series, as its manganese and iron content are generally more equal.

The name "wolframite" is derived from German "wolf rahm" ("wolf soot" or "wolf cream"), the name given to tungsten by Johan Gottschalk Wallerius in 1747. This, in turn, derives from Latin "lupi spuma", the name Georg Agricola used for the element in 1546, which translates into English as "wolf's froth" and is a reference to the large amounts of tin consumed by the mineral during its extraction. This was because when miners found wolframite with tin and smelters attempted to melt the ore to get the tin, they couldn’t get the tin because the wolframite formed a “foamy slag” when it reacted with the tin.

“Wolf” because it devoured the tin

“Rahm” because it looked creamy/foamy

I went to the Colorado School of Mines Museum and I fell in love with all of their ferberite, Wolframite, and Hübnerite specimens. They are all tungsten bearing and I want every one of them.

Hübnerite is a beautiful stone. I'd love to see her in the show

(Re) Enter Smithsonite Lavender Chalcedony!

(base)

Nickname: Chal (pronounced Cal)

Pronouns: they/he

Fusion of: Sodalite and Hübernite

Other facts about them:

Despite being made up of two gems that are cautious and thoughtful (compared to the impulsive Kunzite), their combined inner rage culminates into a gem with a rebellious streak and a hothead. They aren’t the healthiest fusion at first, made solely out of both’s need to prove themselves as capable. In fact, they didn’t reveal themselves until post-Jay transition. That way they looked like they were put together to others. They do learn some self-love and get healthy. Every time they re-fuse (once they both get to their current forms), they get a new patch or pin.

As mentioned in Sodalite’s page, he transitioned to male and goes by Jay because he loves those funky birds (hence the art on the back of Chal’s vest). And ofc since my gemsona is the other half of the fusion, they love opossums!

Weapon: Clawed Gauntlets

VA: Will Friedle (Pre-Transition: Like Ron Stoppable; Post-transition: like Terry McGinnis’)

What do you think a Garnet and an Hübnerite would make? Or maybe an Hübnerite and a Pearl? Hübnerite and Amethyst?

Hübnerite+Pearl

-Xonotlite-Aragonite-Cinnabar

Hübnerite+Amethyst:

-Eudialyte-Erythrite-Cobalt Bloom

Hübnerite+Garnet:

-Carminite-Pyrope-Proustite

This is a weird one but gems associated with satanism, the devil, etc

Not weird at all! I mean, I’ve seen stranger asks 😅

Now then, there’s a few different ways you could go with this. Firstly, there’s gems that have red and black color schemes, which at least would work aesthetically: Hübnerite, Painite, and Carminite all work for this. In addition, there’s also gems with evil or devilish sounding names, such as Painite (again), Bloodstone, or even just Devillite, since it kind of sounds like Devil. And, of course, you could also go with gems with connections to fire, such as Fire Agate, Flame Aura Quartz, or Dragon’s Breath Fire Opal.

Hope that helps! :D

Introducing Morganite!

💘 Nickname: Morg, Roller Babe

💘 Pronouns: she/her

💘 Fusion of: Kunzite, Pink Sapphire, and Hübnerite

💘 Other facts about her:

Made of lo-o-ove~. Easy going and a total sweetie. Unfortunately for her enemies, there is a skilled fighter behind that sweet smile. Her arms float and are thus not attached to her body. If she’s not roller skating, she’s probably observing wildlife by the beach. Her wheels can come off to become normal shoes.

💘 Weapon: Double-sided axe
