Gemstone

thought you said

I thought you were saying somebody's name was Gemstone.

I thought the same thing, too.

I was like, there's a Gemstone that I know.

There's, yeah, there's what? I

think there's, it's like, I want to say it's Topaz, but it's not Topaz.

Yeah.

And get some Traveler's Gems, too.

Fun.

Also, I think in the gift shop they have those little Smurfs.

It's Julie Sanford of Studio JSD.

And our theme is Gems of JW's for Julie.

And what is our next gem, oh, Chris?

Oh, this one is one of my favorite gems, and you guys are all going to love it.

Diamonds are actually incredibly common, but, like, the people that made diamonds, De Beers, told the story that they were exclusive, that they were for proposals, for engagements.

But, like, diamonds are like the trash Gem.

Rubies, emeralds, sapphires, way more precious, way more valuable, way harder to get, and yet we never talk about those.

We talk about diamonds because the story of the diamond is that you give it to people just to show them how much you love them.

Mahal.

The blazing red luck of loving Radhika's feet defeats the beauty of the Srivatsa sign, the Kastuba gem.

and the golden line that represents the goddess of fortune on Krishna's chest.

So these are the markings that are already on Krishna's chest.

I think this is Chaitanya Charitamrita.

Chaitanya Charitamrita is also a poet.

So this Kastubha gem and these are the

attributes

So here we have it, the last two volumes of Land of the Lustrous.

When we left off on our cliffhanger last episode, Foss was doing a full-scale invasion on the Earth Gems, ready and willing to shatter them all to get Kongo to pray.

And while they are doing that, the prince of the Lunarians has taken his wife, the princess, formerly known as Cairngorm, to one of the dark craters on the moon.

He is about to profess everything, but spills to Cairngorm that the Lunarians' plan was to turn Phos into a human so that Phos may command Congo.

Seeing Foss break down mentally over the series has been heartbreaking.

And then the eventual end of Kongo's job was oddly melancholic.

The Lunarians and Gems didn't get the prayer everyone wanted, but Kongo felt such joy to have been told his job was completed.

And then the end when Foss was left alone for 10,000 years was absolutely shocking.

A herd of golden calves, to pay thee, Will loose their bodies from the soil.

And then at once canst thou, with rapture, Gems for thyself and for thy mistress capture.

Their tints and sparkles heighten the degree Of beauty as of majesty.

Hanging out at the pool is great.
