In Homeworlds society, Quartz's of all kinds have something to do with strength or battle. Some types are tanks that are huge and made to take massive damage (mostly Jaspers), some are scouts made to be quick and run ahead of the battle, and some were made to be the head of troops or something of a drill sergeant to get newer gems into shape (agates) and outside of battle, some were made for the heaviest and most dangerous construction. But a majority of the generic quartz's are made to be all-around loyal soldiers.

But like any gem type, some of them come out and are nothing like the others wether that be a good thing or a bad thing.

When Amethyst came out (or as he was called by Homeworld, Auralite 23) he frightened a lot of his fellow quartz soldiers due to him being so huge, almost being on level to the tanky Jaspers. Since the kindergarten he came out of was only for the regular quartz soldiers. This already made many of the supervising gems raise a brow at how this massive gem came to be.

He was quickly taken to Yellow Diamond, the most scientific of the Diamonds, who took an interest in the gem calling him a most fascinating freakish specimen... Auralites were not a common occurrence, in fact they were incredibly rare and only a few have ever formed in homeworlds time. They were so strange for the simple fact that these gems have an interesting blend of 23 different gem types, hence their name. It made them a mess of a gem but a very unpredictable and possibly very powerful gem... Auralite was quickly taken to his labs to be tested and studied.

And for a long, long time, it was the worst series of experiences Auralite could ever fathom. It would've been much worse off if Yellow Diamond himself had taken the experiments into his own hand, but he gave it to one of his most prestigious scientists to do so instead. Most of the testing mostly concluded that, as usual, gem abilities, this particular Auralite had an extreme strength and a level of endurance that no other gem could meet. If this gem was pushed in the right direction, it could be the perfect tool for whatever Yellow desired.

Eventually, it was time that Yellow wanted to take Auralite on a test run and see how he worked with tasks outside of the lab. He was put on the next ship to one of his colonies. He was put in a cell for safety reasons, mostly to make sure if he got stressed enough he wouldn't damage the ship...

The skittish Quartz remained in the cell, silent and stewing in his anxiety over what he could be made to do or what would happen to him the moment he stepped onto the planet.

Alarms and flashing began to go through the whole ship, it beginning to shake violently through a meteor shower, something was wrong, he didn't know what but it still made him panic. He wanted to get out, to flee. The destabilising barrier stopped Auralite from leaving the cell, but what stopped him from just breaking the ship's wall? Sure he'd be facing the void of space... but he'd rather that over whatever homeworld had in stall for him. It seemed Foolish, but Auralite was desperate...

With only a few strikes of his fist and his pulling the hole open, the air pocket soon dragged him from the ship and flung him into the endless abyss of deep space. It wouldn't take long for him to lose sight of the ship. Very soon, Auralite was completely alone, drifting helplessly.

He wasn't sure how long he drifted for; he spent most of that time stuck in his thoughts. Sometimes feeling regret, other times relief... and then the occasional dread of Homeworld somehow finding him. Eventually though, Auralite drifted into a planets orbit and crash-landed...into water. In fact most of this planet was covered with water. There was only small speckles of lush green land. When he reached land Auralite finally had a moment to collect his thoughts. Well... he was here now and he figured he may as well make the best of it... and he did.

The planet would be very peaceful for Auralite; the seed of anxiety was planted at the idea of fearsome natives of the planet, but there wasn't any of that here. The only creatures were these small aquatic creatures that would come to see him on land. They were so nice, he loved to play with them and talk to them. One he particularly got close with. If he wasn't spending time with the planet natives, he would be exploring the beautiful water or just relaxing in a self-made little hut, napping his days away. (When he figured out how to.)

Auralite did get the surprise of his life when he found a small gem on his chest one day, waking him up from another nap of his. He went into a panic at the very horrible idea that homeworld finally found him and was going to bring him back. But that was quickly shut down when he realised this little gem was harmless and didn't want to hurt him... the cycle would repeat when the others eventually found them.

Auralite - Crystals Spirit Oracle

Be here in this moment, fully present and accepting of what is.

Make the time to meditate today and simply observe what you know and feel, without starting to talk yourself out of it and into something else.

No matter how hard this moment may seem, simply by observing it you will change it.

Are you mindful of what is going on right now in your relationship—its qualities and patterns?

Auralite Spirit wants you to observe what is working so you can build upon it, and to see what is not working so you can begin to address it.

Be fully present in your relationships today. Meditate, and then, as you interact with those you love, pay attention—observing without judgment, noticing what is happening without spinning a story of shoulds and ought-to-haves.

Open your eyes, that you might deepen your love and connection; for now, your ability to be present and free of distractions is very strong.

Embrace your ability to be present in the now instead of lost in the past, thinking about the should- haves, or wandering aimlessly in the future, worried about the what-ifs. Auralite Spirit is here to amplify your consciousness of this moment and your experience of prosperity.

You have much to build upon, so let go of your fear and just see and know what is yours right now. What opportunities are at your door? What have you gathered—wisdom, knowledge, and wealth—that can remind you of your ability to bring about the prosperity you seek? Meditation will help you see the answers.
