In the Shadow of Demeter by Vic Malachai

This is not the story passed down from Demeter's priests and priestesses. It started, as many stories do, with a boy and a girl in a meadow. Kore does not belong in the shadows, and she is not the Goddess of Flowers, spring or otherwise. It was there she found her destiny, one that would shake the world from the top of Olympus to the depths of Hades. But what she liked best was when she was allowed to wander the woodlands and towns of the mortal world alone. Too useless to sprout the grain with the nymphs, she followed her mother, Demeter, through the fields and made the flowers bloom, and she wasn't even too good at that. Kore lingered at the edge of the feast hall, watching the great gods and goddesses revel. The least of his sons and daughters, hers was not the moon, or love, or battle…so low that she should have more rightly been numbered among his demigod children.

This shouldnt be allowed probably.The daughter of King Zeus of Olympus lived a small life. So fuck the diamond indsutry and buy lab grown gems which cost significantly lessĪlso it’s just cool to think of some mad scientist lookin person doing shit against the law of the universe and making pretty gems for you. Moissanote also has a 2.69 refractive index in comparison to diamond’s 2.419 and here is the differenceĪnd the best thing about moissanite? It is all lab grown and it costs only a fraction of what diamond costs. It has a 9.25 on the mohs hardness scale where diamond is a 10. We are a pro-lab-grown mineral blog here, not only is it massively cheaper but massively more ethical as well in many cases.Īnother very cool lab grown gem is Moissanite. Not even going to lie, the day i learned i could get like 15 lab grown rubies the size of dimes for $20 is the day i spent $20 on rubies, and i have never once said to myself “man, i wish this cost $1,600 and the lives of eight children to produce” It also ties into the bullshit of the wedding industry as a whole but we don’t have the time to unpack all that There is so much bullshit in the diamonds industry to be mad about tbh. It’s carbon it’s pretty and it didn’t involve slave labor what’s not to love? Hi I’m having geology opinions tonight apparently. An artificially grown diamond is the same shit as a natural diamond it is the exact same material bro it’s all fuckign carbon Calling lab grown gemstones “fake” is stupid because it’s the same shit just not formed naturally.
