What is an "organic gemstone" even?
There is basically only one "organic gemstone" and that is diamond (and it's somewhat symmetry changed varieties including lonsdaleite).
There are also gemstone with at least 50% carbon like e.g. moissanite.
These could be called a semi organic gemstone, but that's really stretching it.
How to fuse tem together with "normal gemstoes"?
The question here is how to fuse these organic gemstones together with all the other possible gemstones.
The main difference here is the atomic diameter. Metal atoms are quite big when compared to carbon atoms.
Furthermore metal atoms often have high bond order due to their d-valence-orbitals and like to for coordinate bonds (aka dative bonds) and
(taking one step further to the left in the periodic table) metals are sometimes are quite ionic.
Inspiration for the desired gemstone coupling could be taken from:
- Teeth and geometry of chelating agents. -- See Coordinate bond
- Bonds in metalorganic compounds.
- Bonds in sandwich compounds.
The spacial context for fusing gemstones is much different though
with a dense stiff policyclic gemstome like bond framework on each sides behind.
