In spite or perhaps because, of that reason, some extremely skilled cutters have still managed to facet the stone. It’s also micaceous, meaning that small sheets of it flake readily from the main body when the stone is disturbed. Kammererite is very soft, coming in at only 2-2.5 on the Moh’s scale. They resemble high-grade amethyst superficially, but the similarities pretty much stop there. The mineral is mainly found as densely packed formations of crystals. KammereriteĪ little-known, extremely soft mineral, Kammererite is found in Italy. While all precious stones are rare in nature, Taaffeite holds the distinction of being one of the few gemstones where you simply may not be able to find it. High-grade stones often sell as soon as they’re listed, and the few lower-grade stones around inevitably seem to be found by those willing to pay a serious premium just to own something so rare. It’s found in Sri Lanka and Myanmar in very small quantities. Samples are vanishingly rare, and anything that looks affordable is most likely a fake of one variety or another. The stone hasn’t taken off in the fine jewelry world, but it’s well known by collectors and those who try to invest in gemstones. Taaffeite occurs in many colors, but the highest-priced specimens are lavender and deep purple. Taaffeite is the only stone known to have been initially identified as a cut gemstone, having been identified by a man named Richard Taafe who found that it had some discrepancies with the spinel material it was sold as.
AlexandriteĪll stones have origin stories, and the story of Taaffeite is a great one. While a bit on the red side of things, once held up to the light it’s hard to figure out why they aren’t held in the same esteem as other purple gemstones. They’re widely available in both crystal and cut form for those who are interested in them. Rhodolite garnets aren’t cheap but they’re not prohibitively expensive either. Rhodolite’s purple is an anomaly in a gemstone that already shows a wide variety of colors. Garnet, after all, is mainly considered a red stone with the possible inclusions of green tsavorite and demantoid garnets known. They’re often overlooked as a choice in jewelry by most people. Rhodolite garnets are a hybrid variety, consisting of almandine and pyrope garnet crystals packed into the same formation. These deep purple-red gemstones have a way of capturing the eye and their slight shift from burgundy to deep purple depending on the light is entrancing. Of the various orange, red, and purple-ish varieties of this precious stone my personal favorite are rhodolite garnets. Oblivion and Skyrim just left us with the same misshapen rocks, colored slightly differently.Garnets are an obsession for some, myself included. Of course thats just basing it on Morrowind's Soul Gem design. A petty soul gem looks like it was ripped out of the ground, whereas the Grand gem almost looks like a jewel. As the gems become more effective they take on a more shaped and "manufactured" appearance. That would seem to explain the general design of the gems all the way up to Azura's Star. Meaning then that any old crystal you dig out of the ground can be used as a soul gem. Perhaps, gems themselves aren't even necessarily different from common crystals just cut and shaped for the purposes of containing a soul. Perhaps the other gems are specific to other regions. We don't have lore on where soul gems actually come from, so it could or could not make sense that we only see the purple gems in Morrowind (which correspond to a specific type, ie Greater Soul Gems). So, it is possible that the crystals are in fact naturally occurring soul gems. And if you build your own Telvanni tower, you'll find that part of that process involves two souls of Storm Atronachs. However, they are also typically in Telvanni towers, usually at the root.
