Obsessed?
I read some articles about jewelries/gemstones/crystals/minerals. Healing gemstones, generally.
Interesting ^^ A gemstone named Carnelian can stop you sneezing. Ha! Amethyst may help you to communicate better. Pearl will open your heart to love (so if you love someone, and not loved back, give him/her a pearl ;) And many more... I can't remember all of them.
But there's one gemstone I kinda obsessed with. It wasn't listed in the article, I found it in a book I read last year. Iolite (formerly known as 'water sapphire' too). I even gave that name 'Iolite' to my character in Ragnarok Online. Sigh. Without knowing anything about it except its name and colour : indigo. Later I browsed internet and found out its other name; gem of vikings. Viking Navigators used a thin slice of Iolite to look through the mysts, hazes and clouds to find the exact position of the sun, so they can navigate safely back home. Hmm... I must admit that I like this fact so much! Like falling in love to someone and finding how great he is. WAKE UP, Melys... it's just a gemstone!
