In the mysterious future, crystalline organisms called Gems inhabit a world that has been destroyed by six meteors. Each Gem is assigned a role in order to fight against the Lunarians, a species who attacks them in order to shatter their bodies and use them as decorations.
Phosphophyllite, also known as Phos, is a young and fragile Gem who dreams of helping their friends in the war effort. Instead, they are told to compile an encyclopedia because of their delicate condition. After begrudgingly embarking on this task, Phos meets Cinnabar, an intelligent gem who has been relegated to patrolling the isolated island at night because of the corrosive poison their body creates. After seeing how unhappy Cinnabar is, Phos decides to find a role that both of the rejected Gems can enjoy. Can Phos's seemingly mundane assignment lead both Phos and Cinnabar to the fulfillment they desire?

"The objective of this story is to keep the audience completely baffled. Don't be fooled by their appearance, there is nothing human going on here. Since it's all pure fantasy with no connection to our reality you can't expect whatever strange new development is coming next. Aside from that I personally thought the art and animation were magnificent. These creatures are so strangely beautiful its hard to really explain them without ruining the show, so I won't. 4 stars easy, sadly there doesn't look like there'll be a second season"
"Another I haven't quite finished but I can't leave off this list. The only 3D anime I've watched that really masters the medium instead of being held back by it. It's elaborate, thought provoking, and mysterious. It's like a fairy tale you can't quite remember. It's also one of the most beautiful anime I have watched in a while. If you like action, it has some amazing fight scenes as well. "
"Rocks with feelings! Phos, filled with desire for more than his current life, requests to be a greater part of the gems he knows as his family. But Phos does something that the other gems do, he changes. As he does, the mysteries of Master and the world slowly unravel. (P.S. They're called "he" in the manga and "she" in the anime, but ultimately they are rocks and don't have gender. Also they done really die...)"
