Cryogemology 102: Birth

As the legend goes, cryogems are the frozen tears of the gods, crystallized over millions of years in the heart of the earth. But what many do not know is that these mystical gemstones are born much like little babies, nurtured and cared for by the elements themselves.

It is said that when a god sheds a tear, it falls to the earth, where it is carefully collected by the guardians of the elements. These guardians, known as the Elementals, are the caretakers of the natural world, tasked with the responsibility of preserving its beauty and power.

Once in the hands of the Elementals, the tears are carefully imbued with the essence of the elements, each tear nurtured and cared for until it begins to grow and take shape. The deep blue gems are born from tears infused with the power of the ocean, while the fiery red crystals are born from tears infused with the energy of the sun. The sparkling white gems are born from tears imbued with the purity of snow, while the rich green crystals are born from tears infused with the life force of the earth.

As the tears grow and mature, they begin to take on a crystalline form, their delicate shapes and hues a reflection of the element that gave them life. And when the time is right, the Elementals carefully place the newly formed cryogems deep within the earth, where they are allowed to grow and mature over the course of eons.

But even after they are born, cryogems remain fragile and delicate, requiring constant care and attention from the Elementals to ensure their growth and vitality. And it is only through the tireless efforts of these guardians of the elements that the world is blessed with the timeless beauty and enchantment of the cryogems.

So the next time you hold one of these precious stones in your hands, remember that it is not just a symbol of power and beauty, but also a symbol of the mystical bond between the natural world and the divine. It is a testament to the tireless work of the Elementals, and a reminder of the endless possibilities that lie beyond the veil of the ordinary.
