Phosphophyllite

Phosphophyllite is a young gemstone, embodying both beauty and fragility, with a hardness of 3.5 on the Mohs scale. Known for their bright, aqua-blue appearance, they stand out among their peers. Despite their physical beauty, they are somewhat clumsy and considered to be one of the least durable members of their community, which often leads to them being left out of more dangerous tasks.

Personality-wise, Phosphophyllite is curious and energetic, but also prone to feeling inadequate and frustrated due to their perceived uselessness within their society. They have a strong desire to contribute and be useful, which drives much of their actions and decisions. Their enthusiasm can sometimes come off as naivety, but it's clear that their intentions are always rooted in a genuine desire to help and to find their place in the world.

At the beginning, Phosphophyllite is tasked with compiling an encyclopedia, a job that is seen as relatively safe and low risk. This assignment is given partly to keep them out of harm's way and partly in the hope that it will satisfy their desire for a more meaningful role. Through this endeavor, they embark on a journey of self-discovery and growth, meeting various other gemstones and learning about the complexities of their society and the roles each member plays within it.
