He said it was expensive too. Found one on Amazon for $17. Makes me think OP is a troll.

I found a diamond on Amazon for $122,960.

Oh, and it qualifies for free Super Saver Shipping!

You can buy these on Amazon (meaning one oyster full of these worthless, implanted, fake-colored pearls for about $0.50/pearl.

I wouldn't recommend it; the chemicals they use to keep the oyster from becoming a biohazard while they mail it to you are nasty. Your gf might puke from the stench while trying to open it.

Devotion to one deity or another is a little bit of a touchy subject around here, so I won't go into that, but if you want to make an amber pendant with a rune on it, I don't think anyone would argue.

If it were me, I would start with something pre-polished like this and then either buy or borrow a rotary tool such as the Dremel in that link and carve it yourself. Fill with enamel or paint, you can find smaller quantities at a hobby store, to make it more visible. If you use a latex-based paint, you'll want to seal the whole bead with a polyproplene (sp?) or something similar. Then use the same tool or a drill to drill a small hole in it and put it on a cord, or you can find jewelry mounts on Amazon as well but they're going to be more "effeminate." With Amber, you'll want to use slow speed for carving and drilling as it could be a little more fragile. You could also find a pre-drilled bead and do the same thing, I saw some on Amazon doing that search that had reinforcing grommets out of stainless steel.

EDIT: If you're not keen to do all that work or want something more specific, there's a pendant from Jelling Dragon which is claimed to be based on a "Viking find from Sweden," looks like a mini-statue of the goddess and it only runs $24 in bronze or $42 in silver.

Very nice. Something like this could be a good addition.

If she doesn't have a bias against lab made sapphires or emeralds you can get those every bit as cheap as topaz. I got my wife an alexandrite engagement ring that she loves. It is real alexandrite but it is lab made which can be had for super cheap. On the other hand natural alexandrite is absurdly priced

My bad the ones last year were in the cans; I checked with my friend whose job it is to supply the weirdness and they're in a plastic wrap but they're all individually wrapped and should still be okay to stash places. This is the link she sent me!

maybe something like this? They already look like they're in a perfect shape to be a kyber crystal.

Gems and minerals! I love them. I used to be really into it, but I think I shifted my collection habits to video games... and then manga... and then back to video games. I don't collect video games in the sense that they stay pristine, unused, untouched, etc. in the back of my closet. I just don't sell them back; there's not really much point to it. I paid $60 for this game, no I won't sell it back for $10! I keep them around and lend them to my brother and friends :) Considering they take good care of it.. I just hate it when they come back to me obviously damaged :(

edit: Wanted to say, if you want to feel like a king (a PIRATE king!), you can get a very inexpensive lot of gems like this. Some people have a bowl of buttons to run their hands through, I have a bowl of gemstones!

Transparent feldspar isn't uncommon, colorless orthoclase is about a buck a carat There is nothing interesting about it, except for sunstone, which is plagioclase feldspar with copper inclusions that give it a firey red color. Occasionally, sunstone rotates the axis of polarization of light to create color interference so that it is different colors in different directions.

Labradorite and moonstone are also semi- transparent feldspar variants with cool optical properties.
