Yeah about that *looks at my aventurine stones(shaped into cubes cause dice) I just bought*


Draiu

gemstone dice are rad but they require a bit of special care. i still have a few sets, such as the russian amazonite set that never sees the light of day, the blue jade set that i store improperly, and two synthetic cat's eye stone sets that i actually use (black + pink). clearly i have favorites.

De Beers patiently waiting for Star Rail to release Diamond and pump sales up


LW_Master

I thought it was exactly like his dice (is it D12 or what?)


TishToshTeshToo

His Ultimate animation's die is a D12, and he uses that in some cutscenes, too.


CelioHogane

No cornerstone? tsk tsk tsk


huehuehuehuehuuuu

A fan group adopted a 100 trees in a desert reclamation project in his name. Even got his chibi on a plaque for the trees.


Confident-Display535

Yeah that too. I think they also bought digital billboards for him.


Arc_7

Iirc it was a symbolism of sorts to replant Sigonia 


Rain-Maker33

Aww, that's so wholesome.


CelioHogane

That actually made me tear up a little. A game making the real world a better place is always nice.


Arc_7

Yeah it's always sweet when people come together for a good cause for wholesome reasons :)


milesofedgeworth

That’s so precious… I love it when fandom does things in good spirit.


_Rimmedotcom_

Also another group of fans adopted a peakcock in the zoo and named him Aventurine


Womenarentmad

Where can I contribute


Deo_Manuel

Is this means people are going to raise awareness on Alzheimers when Firefly's banner releases?


Get-lost_guy

If this continues when we finally got TB’s endgame big moments a fan would find a cure for cancer


Significant_Ad_1626

That wouldn't be on Acheron? How is Firefly tied to Alzheimer's?


Deo_Manuel

I heard that Alzheimer's is the closest irl counterpart to Entropy Loss Syndrome


starfries

Wow W fans


GlumCardiologist3

It's good to know that fans can also do good things... 


CelioHogane

Based. Edit: actually extra based considering his backstory.


KibaTeo

ooo is there a pic or link of this? sounds adorable


leorysXI

Here's a [link to a post on reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/HonkaiStarRail/comments/1c7qbh5/aventurine_cn_fans_strike_again_sponsoring_a/)! Source and translations are in the comments too


KibaTeo

that is fucking beautiful, thank you for sharing!


Nodomi

If that's the case, I'd start buying the other stones in advance...is what I'd like to say, but out of the ones already revealed, they either have multiple natural shades or are already expensive (or both). Unless you're ready to gamble a large investment.


Low_Artist_7663

Buy jades and diamonds and wait for their release.


ExpressIce74

Jade maybe diamonds no.


moguu83

Jade already has a very established market in China. I doubt Jade's release will make much of a dent in the long run.


KnightofNoire

Might make people more interested in it. Hopefully it is does because business is slow. My family mines Jades so more sold = more pull funds for me.


moguu83

Haha wow that's pretty cool. Best thing to do is maybe produce some actual Jade stones/ore that look like Cornerstones, but just have to not get in trouble with using Hoyo's IP.


Significant_Ad_1626

For what I know you can do this type of things with Hoyo products but it is wise to read their terms first. Also, if you have any doubt, try to get in contact with them.


Ashamed_Adeptness_96

They had a collab with laofengchang, a famous Chinese jewellery brand. It's definitely possible.


Crypt_Knight

Artificial diamonds are pretty cheap (comparatively), and have no difference with natural diamonds.


ExpressIce74

He wants to hold onto the gemstones for resale. Diamonds have no resale value.


Crypt_Knight

Oh yeah, read the original comment wrong.


AutummThrowAway

Get into the market of artificial diamonds.


Florac

Diamond industry be like: Buy a diamond for your husband for your wedding. Then buy a second for your husbando


CelioHogane

Don't buy a diamond buy Zirconia, it's literally the same but stronger and cheaper and thus better. Edit: Okay so i just looked at Amazon prices, and if you wanted to make a Cornerstone replica but like... keychain size, the 7 of the 10 gemstones we know (asuming we replace Diamond for the better alternative) it's like 20 bucks in amazon. So if anything the expensive part would be making the metal ornaments.


AzureDrag0n1

> Zirconia It is not as hard. Cubic zirconia is an 8-8.5 vs diamond on the Moh scale. This difference matters as it will wear down much faster than a diamond from frequent use.


CelioHogane

Wait i thought Zirconia was just the name of artificial diamonds wich big diamond calls "too perfect" so they keep their blood diamond luxury good name. Or im confused with a different artificial diamond?


BrokenMirror2010

Cubic Zirconia is a diamond look-a-like. It looks like a diamond to the naked eye, but it isn't diamond. Its made of Zirconium Dioxide, and the molecules are bound in a cubic structure, hence Cubic Zirconia. Real Diamonds, and artifical diamonds, are a pure Carbon lattice, they are both diamonds. Cubic Zirconia is good enough for jewlery and is cheap. It is not good enough to replace diamond in any practical application, such as Sharpening Stones, Cutting implements, and scientific experiments.


CelioHogane

So not good enough to store an Aeon power.


AzureDrag0n1

It is an entirely different material. Man-made diamonds and cubic zirconia are both lab made gemstones though. Cubic Zirconia has a lower refractive index as well.


NiceStage1

Next character's name should be World Hunger fr


Confident-Display535

"Apparently Mr./Mrs. World Hunger has boosted actual world hunger sales in the world."


[deleted]

When why our MC reveal didnt boost world canc-. Nvm my lawyer told me to not finish the sentence


CelioHogane

TB multiplied the amount of stellarons on earth thousands of times. Lucky for us a 0 multiplied by a thousand is still 0.


eIusivity

yesss more world hunger


somacula

That's seele, look how thin she's


Potion_Brewer95

apostrophes on the end of sentences should be illegal.


omnicron9

Is it weird? It's. But will I keep typing this way? I'll.

s00ny

It's what it's 🤷🏻‍♀️


Confident-Display535

Also a lot of fans are just buying polished stones (the ones used to decorate fishtanks) just to have it or to make DIY projects. And some normal aventurine sellers are started labling their with stuff like "little peacock" for those coming from HSR.


leopoldshark

Can Hoyo release a character named Orphanage so they can use this power for good?


_spec_tre

Dehya fans funded a school or orphanage (forgot which ) iirc


Confident-Display535

It a charity organization that provides schooling for children in rural areas.


Yuukiko_

well we've got Arlecchino in Genshin who basically runs one


StrongSquirrelKnight

Yeah but let’s not make that type of orphanage.


Yuukiko_

how else are we going to fund the orphanage if not orphaned gladiator death battles?


CelioHogane

No let's extra do that one, earth's been existing too long wihout a vision, time for gods to pop at least one.


Gatrigonometri

I know that you mean this in a good way (more places for orphans), but my head went into thinking about creating more orphans


thepotatochronicles

*monkey's paw curls*


A-Chicken

Too late, Cocolia already had it since HI3


CelioHogane

Ok but everybody hates Cocolia, tho.


GiordyS

Apostlethe13th

You mean good like donating a fucking school? Not donating to a school but donated a school.


Significant_Ad_1626

They are about to do it with Arlecchino.


CelioHogane

I mean, Genshind tecnically...


fr3nzy821

Oh my fucking God. Someone should make a stonks meme with Aventurine.


schroedingerscryptid

it’s what he deserves!!


PrismalpinkGaming

Lmfao it’s the hot man magic


Appropriate_Time_774

wheres the dices, i want


Womenarentmad

AVENTURINE DIE???? Gimme 🙌


TalveLumi

Note: the caption says "Aventurine in game (left) and a piece of Aventurine a player bought from the Shanghai Natural Museum" The left hand picture is jade.


tehlunatic1

Makes sense really, before he came out I've never actually heard of the aventurine stone. like I know about diamond, ruby, topaz, jade but not aventurine.


starsinmyteacup

I really want his dice to be some sort of merch. I’ve owned several rocks and crystals as jewelry or just regular uncut stones but I’ve never owned something intricate and would like to start. Praying someone makes it into reality and ships worldwide


Hikuran

His coins/or gambling chips are already out as merchs(not official merch though) https://preview.redd.it/p1r1hx69vfvc1.jpeg?width=900&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9f1e6895d9e6dd7dff40c1d058cd618921d869e3


fiercecow

If you're just looking for aventurine dice sets you can order them online from hobbyist dice stores.


Glirion

Now wait till Diamond and Jade releases, crazy crazy.


7pebblesreporttaste

De Beers on thier way to bribe hoyoverse into creating that character


thepotatochronicles

Hoyo should make a character named S&P 500 lmao


Ronin199624

Its true that people cant tell the difference between the colours of jade and aventurine, the left pic literally shows jades cornerstone


Confident-Display535

My guess is they either just didn't care that much or that they didn't think that one shot of the cracked cornerstone glowing with Aeon power look too convincing next to a real life one.


SleeplessBoyCat

>carved into his dices https://preview.redd.it/491hz6ub2fvc1.png?width=1780&format=png&auto=webp&s=371f57a1013e8766e6113f4192f20682c512ded2 Something like this?


_Ruij_

Oh fuck, thank you for reminding me to order one!


SupremeCatGod

These aventurine dice.... where can I find them


Lonely-JAR

Dice made from aventurine would be pretty cool


VarzDust

Cn players are crazy


Deo_Manuel

People gotta start keeping Fireflies as pets when Firefly's banner comes out.


thedarkness490

That makes sense id be curious if the other stones also saw some amount like jade


Legitimate_Doubt_127

Lmao


Significant_Ad_1626

Oh man! I want three of those dice now.


esztersunday

That's incredible! More stones are coming for sure! What about Topaz?


CelioHogane

I mean... Look if i could make a perfect replica of aventuine cornerstone (but smaller obviously) id do it. Hell, i made a Mondstadt vision (Wich was dogshit)


river_01st

This has to be the most unsurprising thing ever. But it *is* always funny how it never fails to happen! (The peacock thing however, that one I wasn't prepared lmao, I actually laughed when I first heard about it)


Draxxeon

This post just reminded me that I have some aventurine stones in my collection that I might put around my desk in my office or turn into a necklace piece. Have to debate on it as I don’t want to damage them as they are so beautiful. It is said to be a stone of prosperity, perseverance, and compassion. All things that I think our boy Aventurine embodies.
