[QUOTE="ZAR22, post: 7892416, member: 6961667"] I am NOT saying they have NO value, but not as precious as people make it, and it's preciousness primarily comes from it's IRL gem strength. You gotta understand the crystal is supposed to be basically the white dragon of the gem group, even to the point they raise white dragons. And they are VERY small, smaller than whites generally, so they can't be named diamond for obvious reasons. And in truth, sapphire should be the top dragon type in gems, as seeing ruby (being the dragon GOD of gem dragons) is literally just a red sapphire, and the fact sapphires are military like, makes them good soldiers for sardior and being his accompanying entourage, and next emeralds should come after sapphires, and THEN a choice between topaz and amethyst should be next, not only given in gem strength, but value and knowledge of the gem by medieval standards. But sardior and crystal & sapphire are the MAIN dragons that need the spot light and given the most representation. As not only did they appear in a dragon magazine, but officially appeared in either 1e ODAD or ADAD with the gemstone dragons. So those 3 are the most important and crucial to do right. [/QUOTE]
