Hi! A few days ago I had the urge to create a gem based species because I love HNK and it inspired me to do more with gems ^_^ I wanted to incorporate other things I like like gold elements and cute kids

here's a first prototype!  Their hair and eye color is based on their gem of course, but they also have their "spines" (they do not actually have bones) protruding slightly as adorment and is their most delicate spot. Since tails are part of the spine, I gave them tails that are reminiscent of spines and that showcase their gem as well! They come with various horn and tail shapes, at least that's whats planned. The outfit is very much inspired by HNK's uniforms lol... but not every specimen will wear the same! This example is a Blue Turmaline, but it won't be for sale

_{also if you see similarities to yukibuns' latest off species adopt, I know, pls don't point it out further}
