might i also add that you're statement that emeralds are runts is entirely true. on the Mohs hardness scale, peridot topples emerald by an entire level, and your gem is much more rare considering you can only come from space. millions of dollars a day are spent on you by jewlers for your inner luster, andeven more is spent by glassblowers for a little someting to add to their melted glass that othergems cannot contribute. i'd say you have a very high place among gems. all you need to do is thouroghly rock that high status. Lapis is lucky to be with you, but she has her ups as well. lapis, you are sought after for your gorgeous luster, and the fact that if you're polished, you never lose your shine. lapis lazuli is often used to decorate things like expensive mirrors, windows, pretty much any furniture that can be trimmed with a stone, and back to those mirrors, if polished enough, Lapis lazuli can BE a mirror. never losing your luster has its definite upsides.
