I'm proposing new gem-based bases off of Mookite and Chalcopyrite. Both are vivid and bright gems that can give tons of inspiration. I don't have mock ups (feel free to make some) but my desire is a BRIGHT gem base.

I adored Labradorite when its first version was released. I needed as many as I could. Saved for over a year only to see they had changed it. Dulled down the colors and made it more brown. To be honest I hate it, despise it (there's many more bases I LOVE then dislike).

I fully understand not everyone like bright bases, but not everyone likes dulled colors either. So I propose two bright gems to make bright bases. It'd only be 2 out of many gem bases and each one could be a different month.

They'd each be named after their gems and cost the usual 50 to craft.

I'm proposing bases (BRIGHT, COLORFUL, AND BOLD) be made using these gems as inspiration. Please comment, ESPECIALLY if you disagree. I like to discuss what could be improved to make the suggestion more liked. Thank you for taking a look!

For anyone who dislikes this base for being too bright please take a look at this. This is Chalcopyrite with Fluorite eyes (suggestion for gem eyes I'll be making) with markings and decor. Its toned down WITH MARKS but still just as beautiful! This is the exact same base as the mock up made less bright via marks, no saturation or brighness changes. It's easy to tone a lions colors down, but impossible to brighten them up! So before you dont support remember: We can't make bases brighter, but you can tone them down with just a few markings!
