Chapter 3-Crystal's Very Own Trinkets
Crystal was not only a successful presentation expert, but she also had a side business selling spectacular braclets, baubles and hair extentions from her business Stargazer Boutique. It had done pretty well but only because of word of mouth. No two of her jewerly items were similar. Each was unique and had a personal touch that the buyer made personally.
Rarity was particularly interested in buying a bracelet, and each of the fillies bought their own with the money they had raised during a spring cleaning event in Equestria. It had been quite the communal affair, everyoner participating to remove the old and prepare for the newness of spring. Each community had a similar spring cleaning or 'winter wrap up' as it was known. Rhodachrozite had been implementational in keeping Equestria fashionable and in vogue although it had been considered such a remote community. Nevertheless, it was about to become a tourist destination, due to the visit the mane six had graced it with.
Pinky Pie had made two bracelets, one for Maude and the other for herself. She couldn't wait to see what Maude's reaction would be once she recieved Pinky's gift. Each of the mare's baubles were unique to that pony and their distinctive fashion taste. Crystal loved them all and wore the earrings she had made for the evening they were about to spend together.
Unbeknownst to some of the Rhodachrozites, there were canals rowed by gondaleers and a river trade that was implemented by Stargazer's family long ago. They had been shipping goods via the Crystal River, which is why she was named as such, in honor of the river that kept them all connected.
