This is a contest entry for _MissMittens_! The gemstone I chose is Tugtupite. 

Story: Tugtupite, otherwise known as Tuggy, hates her gem. She comes from a long lineage of igneous rocks and understands that she must be igneous as well, but why Tugtupite? Why can't she be Diamond or Obsidian? They're the most beautiful in the world! But Tugtupite? Really? No one's ever heard of it, and everytime someone asks what she is and she replies, they try to act like they've heard of it before. But they never have. One day, Tuggy was in her volcano home, reading a book, when all of a sudden, it erupted. She was thrusted about 100 feet in the air, worried about where she was going to land. What if I land in the ocean? What if I land in a ditch? She thought to herself. She finally dropped, and landed in a forest. It seems as if someone heard her thud, because someone came running and helped her up. 
Hi there!" The gem said gleefully. "What's your name?"
Tuggy responded, "Tugtupite, but you can call me Tuggy." She braced herself to explain what she was, but the gem responded,
"Oh, what a beautiful name!"
Tuggy felt warm inside and smiled. "Thank you. What about yours?"
The girl replied Apatite.
Tuggy never heard of that gem before, and said. "I've never heard of that before."
Apatite smiled and said. "That's good! That means that I'm rare, and almost no one is like me. It's great to be unique!"
And at that mometn, Tugtupite learned something. It's not all bad to be different.

Hoped you like the story, and good luck to the other contestants!
