UPDATE: I've added a little FAQ at the bottom of the journal to clarify some things

Hey all! I've recently posted a new gem, and this one is a bit special! Ice Quartzes are the first gem I've made where I'm allowing other people to make their own versions of it!

So you’d like to make your own Ice Quartz, yes? Here’s all the info you’ll need to get that done!

DISCLAIMER:

I am not claiming the entire Ice Quartz mineral as my original creation, nor am I saying other people can’t make their own completely original IQs. All of this info is for my personal gem type lore, and like my Flame Aura Quartzes, I am allowing people to make their own variations of my version of this gem (like how rubies are all alike in canon). 
Additionally, please do not create variations of my gem versions and sell them for profit.

Gem Type info:
Ice Quartzes are fluffy yeti-like gems, they are created on worlds that are mostly made up of rock and frozen water. They prefer to be in cold climates, heat makes them uncomfortable. They’re Quartzes, so they won’t melt in relatively hot temperatures, but they will not survive being dipped in lava.
Much like snowflakes, these gems come in all shapes and sizes. And unlike other corrupt quartzes, they remain bipedal when corrupted. It was very difficult to get a consistent form with these gems, so they have been mostly discontinued by homeworld production. All Ice Quartzes that had been made previously were either shattered, banished to icy worlds, or they escaped on their own.

Creating info:
When making your Ice Quartz, don’t feel too restricted by the example design(s). Have fun with it! You can make your gem be any gender presentation (or lack of gender presentation) you’d like. They can be tall, short, thin, buff, chub, anything you’d like. Ice Quartzes can also come in a fairly wide variety of colors, but they’re usually paste/faded colors. Look up refs!
I only ask that you put an effort into making them your own, don’t make a carbon copy of the Ice Quartz that I made. My OG Ice Quartz, is generally referred to as a “near perfect” variation. She’s very very big and strong. Also, her weapon is unique. Please come up with your own weapon variation!

Original Ice Quartz:


You may use my gem cut for this, but KEEP THE WATERMARK INTACT. If you want to make the cut slightly different, you are allowed to remake it yourself.
Here’s a transparent version of the cut:

ALWAYS BE SURE TO CREDIT ME WHEN MAKING YOUR ICE GEMS. Do not claim the original idea as your own, I will not be happy about that.

Ice Quartzes have their own blog on tumblr!
!!! To have your gem featured on this blog, be sure to tag “Deer Ice Quartz” in the first 5 tags of your tumblr post. I will not be able to find it if you don’t do this. !!!

If you wish for me to see your IQ gems, please tag me in the description! I'll add all of them to a special folder in my favs.

Ice Quartzes and Flame Aura Quartzes are the only gem types I have made that I’m allowing people to make their own versions of. Please do not do this with any other of my original gems, thank you.</h1>

Flame Aura Quartz info:
Make Your Own Flame Aura Quartz!EDIT: Added a few little bits of info on the lore and appearance sections- I'll list them here too so y'all don't have to dig:
-Flame Auras have never been known to be kind to or get along with Ice Quartzes.
-Flame Auras rarely deviate from homeworld, but it's not unheard of.
-No two Flame Auras have the exact same body colors, please do not color pick from the ones I have made other than from the gem cuts.

Hey y'all! Remember my Ice Quartzes? Well, now they have a rival gem type! Introducing Flame Aura Quartzes!

As with the Ice Quartzes, I'm allowing people to make their own versions of this gem type! Here's the info:
