Before the portal opened on April’s land, the earth had been whispering for months — soft vibrations beneath the roots, tiny pulses felt only by the trees and the stones themselves. When the veil finally thinned and the ground split with a breath of warm, golden light, certain objects crossed through… not by accident, but by choice.
This 3.85-ounce Heartstone is one of the rare relics birthed from the Ember Veins, a subterranean network that runs deep beneath the portal’s mirrored realm. According to the old stories, the Ember Veins are not made of rock alone — they are the arteries of the ancient world, carrying memory, fire, and time itself. When one of these veins fractures, the stone that forms in the break becomes a Heartstone.
Heartstones were believed to emerge only under two conditions:
great pressure
and
great purpose.
This piece bears both.
Its caramel and rose-iron layers are said to be the cooling of primordial fire, the settling of a world that once ran hot with magic. The soft mauve bands are the echo of twilight skies from that realm — the hour when the sun briefly touches the horizon of both worlds at once. And the pale fracture-healed lines? Those are the Scars of Becoming — marks of a stone that has survived transformation without surrender.
Legend says that Heartstones were carried by the Watchers of the Crossroads, guardians tasked with maintaining the balance between worlds. Each Heartstone was attuned to its bearer’s energy, warming in the hand when danger approached, cooling when truth was near. When a Watcher completed their duty, they returned their Heartstone to the Ember Veins, where it would rest until the portal opened again.
But this one did not return.
This stone chose to cross into April’s world — responding to the awakening of the portal on her land. It rose not through force, but through resonance, drawn to a place where creativity, intuition, and the earth’s own pulse are stronger than the noise of the world above.
Holding it is like holding a fragment of an ancient heartbeat.
It hums softly — grounding, steady, eternal — as though reminding you:
“Even stone remembers.”
This Heartstone is more than a mineral.
It is a traveler.
A witness.
A keeper of the Ember Veins’ first fire.
And now, a part of the Mystic Dragonfly Creations Portal Collection.
