Hmm.... colour contrasts... I take it that the Topaz is Golden? Cause blue Sapphire would then be on the opposite side of the colour scale.

Moonstone is white.... Black Opal, Black Pearl (both unfortunately already done in canon), Jet, Hematite, (not really 'gems' tho). Ysabet is suggesting smokey quartz because it's slightly transparent but not totally.

Hmmm... Orange-yellow, Blue and White...

Chemistry and Alchemy are also tied together... The Philosopher's Stone stone has several sets of colours tied to it. Khalid bin Yazid (late 600, early 700s) said "The stone unifies in itself all colors. It is white, red, yellow, heavenly blue and green." In which case, Kid could be white or Pandora red as he looks for it, which makes Conan green - Jade, or Emerald perhaps?

Or there were about four stages to making the stone... Black, White, Yellow, and then Red...

.... and I'm getting carried away again. *head desk* Apologies. #^^#
