Here is a bit of a neat one, check out this mineral store in Tokyo:

The owner of the store became interested in minerals due to the Jumi arc of Legend of Mana. At the age of 7, they fell in love with the Bejeweled city and made it their life goal to seek out beautiful gems in the real world.

Now they run “Hotaru Mineral” or “Firefly Mineral”. Of note, Florina in Legend of Mana is actually called “Princess/Guardian Hotaru” where Hotaru means both Flourite and Firefly.

So this fan of the game in Japan created their own mineral shop: you can visit it here. Now, this place has a collaboration with the Legend of Mana: The Teardrop Crystal anime. You can read about that here (it’s in Japanese).

As part of this collaboration, they have a very special pendant, using Flourite (that’s Florina’s core), which you can purchase! Check it out here!
