Ooh, this really brings out the artist in me! (Not to mention the jackdaw.) Can I play? Cuz while you of course picked some nifty ones (Lapis Lazuli is an old fave of mine-- even its NAME is lovely!)... this post has made me wanna go a-prospecting myself!

So, for each bi-pride color, I've found:

  • FUCHSIA: spinel; sugilite; tourmaline
  • LAVENDER: jade; kunzite; quartz; spinel; sugilite
  • BLUE: benitoite; blue opal; sodalite; spinel; tanzanite; tourmaline

Of course most of these are translucent, so they may not be to your taste, and could all be old news to you anyway... but I wanted to share 'em just in case :)

Great suggestions! A lot of them match the hues pretty closely. I like the sugilite most of all though, as it looks like a good bead material and easily has the range to satisfy 2 colours(fuchsia and lavender). I know about most of these ones, but a few were completely new to me(sugilite, kunzite, benitoite).

Also, my birthstone is here among your list. Can you guess? Hint: It's only found in one place..
