Gemstone
rdfs:comment
Gemstone is a planet located on the rim of the Esstran sector, not far from what used to be Korriban. It is a lush terrestrial world, and rich in gemstones and other precious materials. During the rule of the Galactic Empire, the noble House Valathorne rose to dominate the planet when it helped imperial forces to gain control of the orbital defense forces. Its current ruler, Queen Alassra Valathorne, eventually forged ties with the emerging Sith Empire, rebelling against imperial rule. Today it remains unaffiliated with the various major Sith factions, but has pledged its loyalty to Empress Sirena. It's nobility has access to all the high-tech the galaxy has to offer, and uses that technology to cement their rule. The common citizen barely knows about other worlds, and still heats his far Unlike other special weapon types, Gemstone weapons have no part, element, or accessory limitations other than the material. However, there is no available Gemstone material for rocket launchers, thus excluding Gemstone weapons from that type. Gemstone weapons are also only available in purple rarity. The only exception are Hyperion E-tech Spikers and Darts, which may be produced in Gemstone variation due to a separate bug. Gemstone Publishing is a U.S. company that publishes comic books and collectors' guides. The company was formed by Diamond Comic Distributors President and Chief Executive Officer Stephen A. Geppi. Gemstone is the current publisher of licensed Disney comic books, starting in June 2003. The company also reprints EC Comics of the 1950s. Additionally, the company is the current home of The Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide. A gemstone is a mineral of gem quality. Some examples of gemstones could be agate , amber , onyx , pearl , and bloodstone . These are just some of the many gemstones that exist in this world. Gemstones tend to be naturally occurring. Gemstones are ingredients required to upgrade weapons or armor with via Equipment modification. They can be dropped from almost every monster in fields or dungeons, with the exception of Sneaky Peak. Gemstones have roughly a 5% chance of dropping unless the monster is asterisked, where they have a much higher chance of dropping. A Gemstone is defined as an esper who has obtained their power without an artificial method such as the Power Curriculum Program in Academy City. There are few of them in the world and many aspects of their powers cannot be easily described. Unlike artificially developed espers, Gemstones emit larger amounts of AIM from their bodies. It has been mentioned that the total number of Gemstones of the world is around 50. By the 23rd century, it was possible to synthesize most of these in any quantity required, rendering them essentially valueless, though many were still traded for low-end commercial use such as Spican flame gems. In 2267, Korob attempted to bribe members of the USS Enterprise crew with such stones; his flawed research led him to believe that they would be swayed by such a fortune. (TOS: "Catspaw" ) The Betazoid gift box sent to Deanna Troi in early 2364 contained numerous jewels that were spilled out as soon as the box had delivered its message.

[Source] Gemstones, also known as gems, were a type of mineral crystal found in the galaxy. Gems were considered to be extremely valuable, such as the fire rubies on Lothal, an Outer Rim planet.

There are few of them in the world and many aspects of their powers cannot be easily described. Unlike artificially developed espers, Gemstones emit larger amounts of AIM from their bodies. It has been mentioned that the total number of Gemstones of the world is around 50. Kamijou Touma does not belong to this group because his powers are not AIM-based. A member of the Academy City Board of Directors, Kaizumi Tsugutoshi, once had a conversation with a helper he hired from Touma's school, Kumokawa Seria, and came to the conclusion that the Imagine Breaker is not a Gemstone and is probably something beyond their understanding. Academy City currently has a theory that explains the Gemstones' existence: If their espers are artificial diamonds, then the Gemstones are natural ones. To further explain, the theory goes, “If a certain phenomenon has been caused artificially, then, as long as the same circumstances in the experiment are recreated in the natural world due to some factor or other, the same phenomenon will occur with no help from humans." Most of the people in Academy City scorn the idea of people having powers without going through the well-known power development curriculum. Gemstones are considered prized materials. Some organizations believe that by acquiring and analyzing these Gemstones, they can set the foundations for creating their own psychic power development institutions. The United States and Russia are known to have pursued power development during the Cold War and it is hinted that they have not given up on having their own power users even to this day.

By the 23rd century, it was possible to synthesize most of these in any quantity required, rendering them essentially valueless, though many were still traded for low-end commercial use such as Spican flame gems. In 2267, Korob attempted to bribe members of the USS Enterprise crew with such stones; his flawed research led him to believe that they would be swayed by such a fortune. (TOS: "Catspaw" ) In TOS: "Arena" , Kirk stated that he found "an incredible fortune in stones" while attempting to find a weapon against the Gorn, indicating that to some extent, diamonds still had value for trading purposes in the 23rd century. The Betazoid gift box sent to Deanna Troi in early 2364 contained numerous jewels that were spilled out as soon as the box had delivered its message. (TNG: "Haven" ) The Folnar jewel plant, a plant native to Folnar III, secreted a resin that hardened into a gemstone. (TNG: "Dark Page" ) Among the items and artifacts Vash secured in the storage locker of the assay office aboard Deep Space 9 in 2369 was a handful of assorted gems. (DS9: "Q-Less") During first contact with the Wadi, they presented a bag of jewels to Quark as their wager in dabo. (DS9: "Move Along Home") Bajoran villagers presented Chief Miles O'Brien with a plate full of gemstones when he was temporarily chosen as their Sirah. (DS9: "The Storyteller") Upon announced as official mail carrier by Captain Janeway, Neelix told her to treat the mail like gemstones. (VOY: "Hunters") Gemstone Publishing is a U.S. company that publishes comic books and collectors' guides. The company was formed by Diamond Comic Distributors President and Chief Executive Officer Stephen A. Geppi. Gemstone is the current publisher of licensed Disney comic books, starting in June 2003. The company also reprints EC Comics of the 1950s. Additionally, the company is the current home of The Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide. Gemstone also issues annual editions of Christmas Parade, Vacation Parade and Spring Fever, a giveaway for Free Comic Book Day, and occasional special editions (including comic adaptations of Mickey, Donald and Goofy: The Three Musketeers and Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas). Its first book, Mickey And The Gang: Classic Stories In Verse, a compilation edited by David Gerstein of Disney cartoon story pages published from 1934 to 1944 in Good Housekeeping Magazine, was issued Nov. 2005. Gerstein has since edited two softcover collections that are official tie-ins to the Walt Disney Treasures DVD collections: Disney Comics: 75 Years of Innovation (2006) and Uncle Scrooge: A Little Something Special (2008). Gemstone is a planet located on the rim of the Esstran sector, not far from what used to be Korriban. It is a lush terrestrial world, and rich in gemstones and other precious materials. During the rule of the Galactic Empire, the noble House Valathorne rose to dominate the planet when it helped imperial forces to gain control of the orbital defense forces. Its current ruler, Queen Alassra Valathorne, eventually forged ties with the emerging Sith Empire, rebelling against imperial rule. Today it remains unaffiliated with the various major Sith factions, but has pledged its loyalty to Empress Sirena. It's nobility has access to all the high-tech the galaxy has to offer, and uses that technology to cement their rule. The common citizen barely knows about other worlds, and still heats his farm with firewood. Any actual weapons beyond a woodcutters axe, a hunters bow or single-shot rifle or similar tools of the trade are restricted to standing armies. A common punishment for serious crime is exile - which means the criminal is simply tithed to the Empire's growing army.
