Using FR gemstone items, I've cobbled together some meaning for them using real life interpretations, linked below. Feel free to use them, rift on them ect!
Some FR items don't have IRL counterparts, so I used similar looking IRL stones to provide meaning. The IRL substitutes are noted in [] brackets.
