Acquisition & symbolism
_________________________________
The Orange was found in a developed mine near Running Bull, weighting 45.102 carats in total. The gem itself is brilliant yellow-orange. It can also be found in shades of moss green, viridian, sky blue, umber, and white. It is somewhat rare and it is commonly cut in ovals. Such stones are associated with confidence, pessimism, prosperity and willpower.
After it was discovered, the two most notable collectors of jewellery in Klaasiya, The Crown Duke and Duchess, arranged for the stone to be presented to themselves. It was a very nice one indeed, but what really caught their eyes was that lovely finest orange colour. Ivo and Gwyneth had long planned to expand their collection, constituting of the Heart of Klaasiya and the Blood of the Safir), so this notable precious stone was the one to start that process.
It was initially cut and designed to become part of a ring, however at present no golden framework has been created. However, it is also possible for the Orange to be incarnated into a future crown, possibly the one of Ivo and Gwyneth's heir - Zakyyr, but for now these are just rumours and no preparations for a new crown have taken place.
The Orange is particularly special just for the reason that it is expected to become the first one of a very rich and precious collection of the Klaasiyan Crown Ducal family. After all, Klaasiya was and is known throughout the world for its most amazing mines and the jewels they produced, so it was unthinkable for the ruling dynasty not to own a large proportion of it.
