''Tiny, deceitful, and dazzling little creatures. Minerachnids carry the different minerals and gemstones that the earth provides. These creatures are no bigger than any ordinary stone. The string that these creatures create has remnants of a type of fecal matter that resembles small teardrop-shaped stones. This is used by jewelers worldwide, which doesn't make it rare for them to have collections of Minerachnids at their disposal to create fantastic jewelry. There are many different species of Minerachnids, each with a different mineral and body type. The most common Minerachnids would be the Widow types. These Minerachnids have bright colored gemstones rather than minerals. These colors include, green, blue, purple, yellow, and red. More bulky or heavier Minerachnids, known as Minerantulas, carry bulkier or heavier minerals. Like, basalt or granite. These Minerachnids produce a stronger string that also gains the properties of whatever gemstone they carry. The diet of these creatures is a bit different since they have to maintain both an insectoid-ish diet as well as gain mineral-like nutrients, they prey upon amber-encased insects! It may sound like Minerachnids starve since it takes years for amber to harden. However, Amber carrying Minerachnids catch present-day insects and prey on that. And since they can't make their own string, they use Minerantulas for protection, in exchange for catching prey for them. Yay, symbiosis!''
