The rose quartz crystals in the corners of Gemstone Glade are humming, a soft symphony of peace. The fountain quietly tinkles in accompaniment.

A cloud of leaves starts to whirl around each rose quartz statue. Out of the leaves there steps …

First corner: A tall green goddess of emerald crystal, golden eyes surveying the glade with gentle intelligence. She calls softly to …

Second corner: A metallic silver figure with black eyes and shining metal wings. This is the crystalline goddess of hematite crystal, master protector, a sacred guardian of the glade.

Third corner: A pink waif of pure rose quartz crystal, carrying a crystalline heart of rose quartz. She holds the sacred energy of love within the glade, keeping it pure.

Fourth corner: A snow white male figure with shining silver wings, the master healer and protector of the glade.

The four crystalline beings come together, holding hands and laughing, delighted to be freed of the confines of their rose quartz palaces for a short time. They dance, and leaves play with their feet.

The humming grows louder, and then stops as footsteps approach the glade. The crystalline beings retreat, vanishing in to the rose quartz columns.

All is at peace once more, as a lone travellor enters the glade. A tired looking elderly man in white robes, he limps across to one of the rose quartz pillars, sitting down as he strokes the stone.

A smile uplifts his wearied features, as the love and joy of rose quartz enters his soul.
