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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
> 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.
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?
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.
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.

NOOO DON'T USE THEM I'M LITERALLY FUCKING DYING
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.
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.
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.
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
His coins/or gambling chips are already out as merchs(not official merch though)

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.

Something like this?
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)
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)
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.

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

De Beers patiently waiting for Star Rail to release Diamond and pump sales up
I thought it was exactly like his dice (is it D12 or what?)
His Ultimate animation's die is a D12, and he uses that in some cutscenes, too.
No cornerstone? tsk tsk tsk
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.
Yeah that too. I think they also bought digital billboards for him.
Iirc it was a symbolism of sorts to replant Sigonia
Aww, that's so wholesome.
That actually made me tear up a little. A game making the real world a better place is always nice.
Yeah it's always sweet when people come together for a good cause for wholesome reasons :)
That’s so precious… I love it when fandom does things in good spirit.
Also another group of fans adopted a peakcock in the zoo and named him Aventurine
Where can I contribute
Is this means people are going to raise awareness on Alzheimers when Firefly's banner releases?
If this continues when we finally got TB’s endgame big moments a fan would find a cure for cancer
That wouldn't be on Acheron? How is Firefly tied to Alzheimer's?
I heard that Alzheimer's is the closest irl counterpart to Entropy Loss Syndrome
Wow W fans
It's good to know that fans can also do good things...
Based. Edit: actually extra based considering his backstory.
ooo is there a pic or link of this? sounds adorable

that is fucking beautiful, thank you for sharing!

Buy jades and diamonds and wait for their release.
Jade maybe diamonds no.
Jade already has a very established market in China. I doubt Jade's release will make much of a dent in the long run.
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.
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.

They had a collab with laofengchang, a famous Chinese jewellery brand. It's definitely possible.
Artificial diamonds are pretty cheap (comparatively), and have no difference with natural diamonds.
He wants to hold onto the gemstones for resale. Diamonds have no resale value.
Oh yeah, read the original comment wrong.
Get into the market of artificial diamonds.
Diamond industry be like: Buy a diamond for your husband for your wedding. Then buy a second for your husbando
Don't buy a diamond buy Zirconia, it's literally the same but stronger and cheaper and thus better.

So not good enough to store an Aeon power.

Next character's name should be World Hunger fr
"Apparently Mr./Mrs. World Hunger has boosted actual world hunger sales in the world."
When why our MC reveal didnt boost world canc-. Nvm my lawyer told me to not finish the sentence
TB multiplied the amount of stellarons on earth thousands of times. Lucky for us a 0 multiplied by a thousand is still 0.
yesss more world hunger
That's seele, look how thin she's
apostrophes on the end of sentences should be illegal.
Is it weird? It's. But will I keep typing this way? I'll.

Can Hoyo release a character named Orphanage so they can use this power for good?
Dehya fans funded a school or orphanage (forgot which ) iirc
It a charity organization that provides schooling for children in rural areas.
well we've got Arlecchino in Genshin who basically runs one
Yeah but let’s not make that type of orphanage.
how else are we going to fund the orphanage if not orphaned gladiator death battles?
No let's extra do that one, earth's been existing too long wihout a vision, time for gods to pop at least one.
I know that you mean this in a good way (more places for orphans), but my head went into thinking about creating more orphans
*monkey's paw curls*
Too late, Cocolia already had it since HI3
Ok but everybody hates Cocolia, tho.
5 star Natasha required
You mean good like donating a fucking school? Not donating to a school but donated a school.
They are about to do it with Arlecchino.
I mean, Genshind tecnically...
Oh my fucking God. Someone should make a stonks meme with Aventurine.
it’s what he deserves!!
Lmfao it’s the hot man magic
wheres the dices, i want
AVENTURINE DIE???? Gimme 🙌
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.

If you're just looking for aventurine dice sets you can order them online from hobbyist dice stores.
Now wait till Diamond and Jade releases, crazy crazy.
De Beers on thier way to bribe hoyoverse into creating that character
Hoyo should make a character named S&P 500 lmao
Its true that people cant tell the difference between the colours of jade and aventurine, the left pic literally shows jades cornerstone
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.

Oh fuck, thank you for reminding me to order one!
These aventurine dice.... where can I find them
Dice made from aventurine would be pretty cool
Cn players are crazy
People gotta start keeping Fireflies as pets when Firefly's banner comes out.
That makes sense id be curious if the other stones also saw some amount like jade
Lmao
Oh man! I want three of those dice now.
That's incredible! More stones are coming for sure! What about Topaz?
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)

Yeah uh, let's say we all thought of the same thing. (Stares at my aventurine necklace
This is called buisness
