Here is the next spirit, the mineral spirit, gotta say I love how this one turned out.

For the animal I choose a mix of an aligator snap turtle for the tail, and a regular land turtle, as I picture mineral being a very slow element, even more so than earth, but also very very hard and sturdy, so a turtle (and posible armored dinosaurs) fit this spirit pretty well. The shell is made of mineral like quartz, rubies and pink diamonds as I picture the color palete to be white, pink and red for the jewel, with the skin being very dark, imitating rock, also add a lil of gold texture to make it look even fancier.

Regarding the element itself, I found that mineral are sorta different than the earth element. Mineral and jewels are always more shiny and hard, while earth can be pretty flexible on its shapes, from soft ground, to sand, to mud to very hard rock. In contrast the mineral are seem to always hard and slow. Also the mix of this spirit from air and earth come from 2 main ideas. A) A lof of cristal are "clearer" or almost transparent than your regular rock, making them look like they have "air inside" and B) Aparently alot of stones are made though the process of oxidation though oxigen on the air and enviromental preasures, that why the prev myh have the crushing part on it.

Regarding the name, her name is a distorition of the punjavi word meaning jewel heart, and beside cristals, also though it would be nice to create an asociation with bones, fossils, calsification, etc.
