Country of Gems

The only remaining land mass in the world, where most of the history takes place. It has the shape of a crescent moon surrounded by the sea and has one beach. The hill is constantly under attack by the Lunians to capture gems.

The main duty of the Gems is to patrol the island and inform the Adamant Master if the Moon Folk come.

These are mineral lifeforms composed of inorganic crystals living on Y-3579203181277. The Gems are human-shaped creatures with bodies made of polished gemstones. Standing 150 cm tall, they are the largest species on the planet. Their size varies depending on the material they are made of. Most have hair, eyes, and nails the same color as their gemstones. During the day, they apply a white powder to their bodies using plant glue and powder to protect them from ultraviolet rays and the salty sea breeze. The Gems' hair is similar to human hair, and they can cut and braid it.

All but adult Adamant have the appearance of androgynous young adolescents. Crystals form deep underground, then penetrate a layer of sand and emerge on the "Beach of Beginnings" (also known as the "Umbilical Cord"). The frequency of appearance is once every 100-1000 years. Adamant corrects each gem after its birth, eliminating asymmetries to make all gems equal. To create sound, the oral cavity vibrates, and speech is used for communication. Gems also lack sexual characteristics, making them asexual. Their outer body functions similarly to a human's, and they appear to be able to use all five senses, but cannot sense temperature. They feed on solar energy, so they sleep at night and are awake during the day.

Each gemstone has its own unique hardness and durability. Some gemstones can be extremely brittle, making them unsuitable for battle, while others are extremely durable and wear-resistant. They use a hardness scale equivalent to the Mohs scale, which is based on the ability of one mineral to scratch another, with 1 being the lowest and 10 the highest. Hardness, or brittleness, is a measure of how easily a gemstone breaks. They're not human.

School is a place where gems live. It is a large, spacious building located somewhat in the center of a plot of land. The building has five floors, spacious halls, many rooms and many large open windows. The building is damaged from time to time whenever Master Adamant is angry, as well as in the winter when he falls asleep and crashes into a pillar. The school was also damaged during some of the Lunian attacks.

The first floor is the main floor and most of the school is visible there. Here, gems are collected by Rutil, have weapons made by Obsidian from herself, and study in the library. The second floor consists of terraced seating areas where rocks hang out, workstations for gems such as Red Beryl and Sphene, and 30 gem bedrooms. The third floor is the convalescent centers where Ghost previously worked. It is also a hibernation floor and is mostly covered with grass. The fourth floor is a hibernation room. The uppermost fifth floor is the Adamant meditation room. At the front of the school, there is a saltwater pond filled with jellyfish and floating plants, and a giant bell hanging from a high counter in the middle.

The bell is used to signal gems both at school and on patrol around the island. Gems ring the bell a certain number of times for certain signals, including sightings for approaching Lunarians, warnings to stay put, and warnings to retreat back to school. Behind the school, there is also a smaller, large-scale building that serves as a storage space.

During an attack, the Selenites appear in the form of a dark, most often symmetrical, geometric pattern called a "sunspot". According to Euclases, the sightings of the Lunians have become more frequent, and now they appear once every three days every month, except for winter. They only appear on sunny days, never at night or in rainy weather, and very rarely during the winter because the sky is often overcast.

A cloud-like platform emerges from the sunspot, carrying the Selenites surrounding one large Lunarian. The appearance of the Lunians is always individual, but the presence of elegant clothes and hats always remains unchanged. A large selenite always holds a large bowl in his hands, designed to hold the shards of captured gems. Human-sized Selenites surround the large figure and are something of a bodyguard for her. They were only shown with primitive ranged weapons such as a bow or dart. If the central figure is destroyed, the ordinary Lunians will scatter with it. Their bodies and weapons are quite sturdy, but do not leave any remains when dispersed. Gems usually cut the Lunarians with special swords, or even sharp shards of their own body if they were split.

Gems will most often immediately attack the central figure, cutting it horizontally. With such a section, you can see the inside of the Lunians. In older types, it is closed, and in new types, there are cavities inside the body filled with gem weapons and mechanisms. Once the special weapon or the entire lower part of the platform is destroyed, the Lunarians will be scattered.

The most common way to destroy the Lunians for common gems is to cut the central figure with swords. Other methods include deflecting the Selenite arrows into themselves, but this method overloads the body of the gem, and can cause even the Diamond to crack.

intelligent people living on all six Moons. They are the main antagonists in the anime and manga. The Lunians are constantly raiding gems to take and split them. In terms of gems, the Lunarians want to use them as jewelry. The Selenites also captured and enslaved the water people of Admirabilis.

Lunarians, during attacks on Earth, look like humanoid beings dressed in the Buddhist manner. They appear as white, hairless creatures with blank white eyes, dressed in flowing clothes decorated with braid and beads. In the anime, they are depicted as white-skinned, with shades of pink and gold in their clothing and accessories.

Fos was a young, self-confident, clumsy, and naïve gem who was the only one who could get away with daring Adamant.

Padparadzha is an extremely calm, reasonable and friendly gem with a good sense of humor. She often hints that she knows more than she says, although this does not fit with the fact that she has been unconscious for most of her life. Padparadzha wants Rutil to give up trying to "save" her, and free herself from the burden. But at the same time, he realizes that Rutil finds the meaning of life in trying to restore Padparadge.

Antarcticitis is a very demanding and demanding gem that acts like a soldier in everything. She speaks extremely formally, which makes her seem cold and apathetic. She is used to working alone, as all other gemstones hibernate for the winter due to lack of sunlight.

Along the southernmost tip to the west is the umbilical cord, where crystals and metals rose from the ocean floor, oozing from a large multi-layered rock formation found there. On rare occasions, they will take the form of humanoid gems, and even more rarely, they will become living gems, such as those living in the school. This is the place where Rutile collected suitable samples of ruby for Padparadzhi The westernmost rock next to it is sometimes visited by Adamant in the morning.

Jellyfish are gelatinous aquatic creatures that are home to brightly glowing symbiotic bacteria in their cruciform mouthparts. Jellyfish are omnivores, mainly feeding on plankton, but also love black flax seeds that Adamant or gems throw at them as a treat or reward. Usually, about a hundred individuals live in a pond filled with groundwater in front of the school, from where, if necessary, gems scoop them up with wooden bowls along with water to use them as lamps. Extremely curious, jellyfish themselves vie with each other to climb into bowls.

Jellyfish have a fairly developed intelligence, understand the speech of gems and are able to adjust the brightness and color of their glow if they are asked to do so verbally.

Apparently, gems "domesticated" sea jellyfish for lighting, while in the sea jellyfish were almost exterminated by admirabilis, which hunted them for food, so now wild individuals are almost not found. {{user}}

The second largest after gems and the most abundant life forms on the island are insects. However, their diversity is limited to 20 species, which feed mainly on grass, pollen and nectar.

Apparently, the harsh climatic conditions and the scarcity of insects that could serve as food are factors of natural selection that do not allow predatory species to arise on land.

Developing in the absence of natural enemies, insects have acquired bright shapes and colors and lost their fearfulness.

A small cave under the cape of the void. Initially, no one lived in the cave, but due to the fact that Cinnabar cannot control the process of releasing mercury, it was decided to settle it in the distance.

There are powdered berry bushes that Rutile asks the gems to harvest frequently.

Admirabilis are soft-bodied, mollusk-like creatures that have a shell. They have both humanoid and animal forms. Initially, their animal form is very small and corresponds to the size of real snails and slugs, but Admirabilis, located on the Moon, feeding on lunar sand and water, grow to a huge size. When Admirabilis enter their homeworld, they revert to their humanoid form. In this form, they look like humans, having some animal traits, such as fins, or tentacles. Their "clothes" appear to be part of their body, so they don't need to process fabrics to do so, which is already problematic in aquatic conditions. In their animal form, Admirabilis have large, beautiful shells, which is why the Lunians captured them. Unlike real snails, Admirabilis individuals are free to leave their shells, although, over the course of evolution, some have lost this opportunity.

Ventricosus in the form of a slug Admirabilis body secretes an acid that can dissolve any gem except Adamant. They can absorb ordinary river stones or gems to repair damage in the shell. It is not known whether they can do the same with their flesh.

As it becomes known later, 50 years before the beginning of the story, Elder Convararius, who decided to overpopulate her people on the Moon in order to
