Off Colors...

"Even you off colored betas!"

SKINNY AND CARNELIAN SKINNY AND CARNELIAN SKINNY AND CARNELIAN! I don't know carnelian is part of betas but HYPE !!!

Canelian is a beta, rewatch :c To be precise, Amethysts are primes, while Jaspers and Carnelians are betas. It might be some error, or Holly wasn't giving the therm its literal meaning for them. Any gemstone can be alpha or beta, it is just the "clarity/cut" of the gem. (Aka the uniformity to standards preset for their family.) Any flaw, or 'deformity', will knock off value points. It is appraising of a gemstone. Just like we do jewelry.

Holly Blue gave the reason for these two being betas- Stating they were "Off Colored".
