Title: The Gem

Rating: G
Warnings: none
Author’s Notes: I wanted to write about the carbuncle and wrote a tanka that was too short. Next, I spent far too much time researching carbuncles and found out that this type of gem doesn’t exist. For the sake of this 60, my sanity, and my attempt at being scientifically correct, I’ve made it a sapphire.
Organized structure of aluminum and oxygen was formed during the slow cooling of magma. The temptation to possess was instantaneous compared to the millenia it took to form the crystallized structure. This nucleating agent, the gem, encouraged growth of crystals in the form of greed and corruption. As impurities turned the color blue, its presence poisoned the ones around it.
