Steampunk Jewelry and the Fantastic Story about Rainforest Jasper

The fictitious story : The Rainforest Jasper .

On the 21st day of my expedition into the no man's land* aboard the roving mechanical scarab tank**, we found what was once the deepest point of the Rainforest and discovered the gate . It was covered by roots of trees that had grown over it for centuries , worn by time but still protected by menacing thorns . As we approached a rattling noise grew from the deep . I had brought with me a few of the Mysterious stones i had found in ancient sacred location around the globe, If my calculation were correct one of them was connected to the gate . But time was running out . Swarms of insects gathered to defend it and This is where i first saw the Great Mantis queen and her children's . They were half-devilish and insectoid creatures , dark and terrifying . We quickly were outnumbered and thousands surrounded us . I had a few stones that could be connected to force of nature , plants and wild life : Seraphinite , Green Agate and Jasper but not enough time to guess which was the right one . The insects started to attack and we had to step back , we lost a few brave crew members but also captured and killed some of the creatures . We collected a dozen specimen , once dead the creature slowly vanished leaving behind only their eyes . The eyes were solid like stones .

Back into the laboratory of the Academy of mechanical wonders , i made a few test on the eyes , after discovering their properties i set them into finger ware ,amulets and necklaces . Once on your finger the eyes allowed you to perceive the world with the senses of an insectoid . It also allowed me to uncover the stone that was tied to their dimension . I called the Stone Rainforest Jasper . The stone was a fossilized fragment of that dimension filled with powerful energy. The rings i made with the stone were glowing with a green-orange light , they would protect us for our next encounter and perhaps helps us open the gate .

Japer for the Curious : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jasper
The name means "spotted or speckled stone", and is derived via Greek iaspis, (feminine noun) from a Semitic language (cf. Hebrew yashepheh, Akkadian yashupu).

Green jasper was used to make bow drills in Mehrgarh between 4th-5th millennium BCE. Jasper is known to have been a favourite gem in the ancient world; its name can be traced back in Hebrew, Assyrian, Persian, Greek and Latin. On Minoan Crete within present day Greece jasper was carved to produce seals circa 1800 BC based upon archaeological recoveries at the palace of Knossos.
The word yashepheh in the Masoretic text of Exodus 28:20, referring to a stone in the Hoshen, is thus reflected in the Septuagint by the word Iaspis, and usually translated into English as Jasper. Despite the most common form of Jasper being red, scholars think that the yashepheh here actually refers to a green form of Jasper - which was very rare, and so highly prized; the Greeks used Iaspis to refer to the green form, while the red form simply fell under the term Sard - which just means red.

Steampunk Survival to an Apocalyptic Anachronism

Pollution is part of both reality and the steampunk culture .The use of recycled materials in the fabrication of Steampunk Artisan items helps our environment . Steampunk is about Converting otherwise unattractive and useless material to create timeless piece of art.Combined with an imaginative story or purpose these steampunk items are given a second life.

Why Apocalypse is associated with the steampunk culture ? Simply , if you combine an Era powered by coal with a rapid evolution of technology , you can only imagine the negative impact it would have on the environment and society .

Unfortunately , I cant imagine an apocalyptic world without war , how much pollution would create legions of coal powered war machines and how much polution would be generated by the factories that makes them .

Ironically The war could be to have control over coal in order to fuel the factories that makes those war machines. By the way what's the price of coal today ?

To survive in that world you need a few extra gears .
Before going out into the wild and heavily industrialized quarter you will need to wear a good gas mask .

''Gasp! Who knew steam engines were capable of producing such foul and wretched air? Give me a horse any day.'' say's Tom Banwell. This for sure will make you look cool .

With all this coal burning the threat of a fire is inevitable. No airship should leave without a highly qualified team of firefighters , especially when leaving on a long journey to a foreign planet .

Then comes the question on how to defend yourself against the villains and machines that lurks in every dark alley. Fortunately Rayguns are also associated with steampunk. The primitive clockwork technology mixed with advanced science found in rayguns contribute in creating an anachronism inherent in the steampunk culture.

Rayguns offer protection with powerful limiteless effects . They can heat , disentegrate , paralize or can even be used as blowtorch .

With all this polution you also need to wear a good pair of Google especially if your going to venture at high altitude or on a coal powered airship . The ultimate protection against the eye iritation by toxic fume & the wind .

My own twist to the steampunk Era

In my Previous Entry : The composition of the default dimension , i described the basic of my Steampunk rings and the theory on the perception of reality influenced by Quantum Science and my love for fantasy worlds .

In order the correct the apocalyptic crisis of the Steampunk Era a mad scientist on his path to building a time travel machines accidentally discovers dimensional travel . A long forgotten science that may be the cause of anomalies in the world he lives in. Ultimately leading him to create the Unusual , Esoterically engineered and wearable form of apparatus that enhance the Metaphysical control over matter . These rings granted what we describe as magical effects .
Giving control over the elements and helping to communicate with creatures from other dimensions .

He had good intentions but his plans were stolen and the scientist mysteriously disappeared. However before he was gone , hundreds of his rings where hidden at different locations .
Because he could travel thought time he had carefully place them so that they could be found
by those he had chosen . But we will see that nothing ever happens has planned .... to be continued .

Green Fire Agate : This ring opened a portal to an alien dimension full of horrible creatures .
The stone was extracted from the remains of a mysterious Meteorite .
After the Meteorite fell several reported sight of strange alien creatures .

Alien Demon eye ring : The eyes of a demon were hard like stones and easy to set into the ring . It's amazing what you can see through the eye of a demon .

Moonstone Ring : This mysterious stone has a glowing aura that will light your path in the darkest place . It will also grant you vision of the future .

Preview # 2: My 3D Steampunk Artwork

Today i have started to create a new dimension . I did a quick render to show you a part of it . I will multiply the structure to make it more complex . I plan to print it and make a poster .

I beleive it was this ring that had the power to open the portal to this world .



This is made of pixels but if you are looking for something similar and real.
I actually know a shop on Etsy that i have been browsing through
and will eventually order something .

www.buildersstudio.etsy.com

I'm showing you these because they have similarities to my imaginary 3D world and they are also some of my favorite . There is much more in this shop that im not showing here , like blasters raygun , robots , wood jewelry , Wedding Cake Toppers and more.
