Alright, I think these four are best for Tom... Though of course number 13's meaning is certainly perverted with him.
6. Creation is now in the hands of mortals through invention. 13. Family is the most important thing to me. 17. My power is the most important thing to me. 20. Those who are weak must be ruled by the strong, or else society will fall apart.

Fluorite is the crystal of Temos and the Pantheon of Craft. It stands for solidity of mind, intelligence, structure, and curiosity. Those with souls of fluorite tend to question the things around them, or wonder how they can be improved or even destroyed. It is said that those with a fluorite soul are best able to resist the charming machinations of others, and find strength in their own resolve.
[attr="class","soulthrough"]
"Family is the most important thing to me."
Rose Quartz is the crystal of Sriae and the Pantheon of Light. It is considered one of the kindest pillars, and represents family, truth, art, and beauty. Those with a pillar of rose quartz can often be relied on to keep their word, though not always. They have a drive towards truth, and a deep desire to be kind and helpful to those around them that they care about. This pillar is also seen in most artists throughout the world, though not all. It is not uncommon for a diviner to define someone as having this pillar, and for that person to later discover an artistic talent that they did not know they had before. If someone is told they have a face of rose quartz, it is often meant that they are rapturously beautiful.

"My power is the most important thing to me."
Obsidian is the stone of Paiia and the Pantheon of Strength. It is representiative of power, anger, violence, bravery, and heroism. Those with an obsidian pillar have a fiery personality, and can often be seen or heard to react with violence or sharp words. Those of obsidian soul tend to be distrustful. The more pillars of obsidian represented in a single soul, the more dangerous the person is said to be. Seers who have looked upon some of the most dangerous war criminals of history have seen obsidian to dominate most other parts of the soul. Good things can be shown through obsidian, however, as those with these pillars are often intensely brave, and are known to protect those close to them with all their strength.
An obsidian pillar is seen by some as a disease, even if it can represent heroism and bravery. This is because it is one of the few that has been known to 'spread' and overtake other pillars.

It was tough to whittle these ones down, but I think this works.
3. I would sacrifice myself, if it meant saving someone else. 11. The ends never justify the means. 26. The beginning of new life, whether that be a sapling, or a child, is the most beautiful thing. 33. Death is the antithesis of life, which makes death Bad/Evil.

Pearl is the stone of Fiorre and the Pantheon of Peace. It represents innocence, purity, and harmony. Those with a soul of pearl are under the influence of Fiorre's pantheon, and hold within them a desire for harmony wherever they go. They look to do this perhaps by pleasing others, finding common ground between enemies, or by acting as protector for those who may not be able to do so for themselves.

"The ends never justify the means."
Amber is the crystal of Streike and the Pantheon of Death. It represents justice, grief, loss, legacy, preservation, and memory. Those with amber in their soul are thought to have a path to Ephilroa within themselves, and it is believed that they would be capable of walking into, and out of it simply due to the piece of Streike that they hold. More directly, however, those with amber in their souls hold less fear of death, and have a greater understanding of it. They may see life as the opportunity to accomplish what they were created to do, or may simply see it as a path to the great beyond. Those with amber pillars seem to often have a great memory.
It seems that many with a pillar of amber have a great sense of justice (whether in the form of law or not), whether or not they act on it. They see acts of right and wrong as things that need to be overcome or punished.

"The beginning of new life, whether that be a sapling, or a child, is the most beautiful thing."
Jasper is the jewel of Ayniea and the Pantheon of Life. It represents stability, security, and healing. Those with a soul of jasper are under the influence of Ayniea's pantheon, and have been instilled with a deep respect for life. In some, this may also manifest as a dislike, or fear of death that is beyond normal rates. Those with a soul of jasper are driven to live their lives to the fullest, whether fulfilling a purpose, or merely experiencing as much as they can.

Not many applied to her, but these would be the strongest.
4. Everyone should have the right of self-determination, of freedom. 30. When given two options, I always choose the third option. 37. Those who do not question everything, are missing something. 40. I have secrets I would never tell, even if it meant hurting someone.

Ruby is a strange case, because it is not associated with any of the known twelve deities. Many have questioned to whom it should be centered. Some claim that it is a creation of all deities together, others say that it results when a pillar is torn between two different deities equally. More claim that this is the truly mortal pillar, a part of the soul agnostic from the deities, under the control of mortals... Yet there are some who claim that there is a thirteenth deity thus far unknown to mortals.
Beyond any debate about it's connections, ruby appears to represent freedom of one's soul. Those with a ruby pillar rail against law and order, against wealth and status. They believe in freedom for themselves, and freedom for others. It is also common for those with ruby in their souls to have tempestuous temperments, easily shifting their moods or being quick to anger.

"When given two options, I always choose the third option."
Aquamarine is the crystal of Moann and the Pantheon of the Flow. It stands for decision, cleansing, trust, and forgiveness. Those with a soul of aquamarine are often very different from one another, making firm decisions about themselves and not allowing others - or the Gods - define them. One thing remains most consistent, however, and it is the view of themselves as truly individual from other people... Even if they may have not yet realized this yet, it is within them. Many with the soul of aquarmarine also believe in the concepts of redemption, and second chances. Though others oppose this, believing that no choice is merely a mistake, and so bad choices must be rightly punished.

Moonstone is the crystal of Khades and the Pantheon of Night. It represents secret-keeping, romance, sadness, and lies. If one has a pillar of moonstone, they likely hold a pain within them that can either be a strength, powering them further through life, or a weakness, that holds them back from taking risks. These people are often more emotional than those without a moonstone pillar, and become attached to others swiftly. Moonstone is also occasionally used in order to ward off notice, or attention, some with pillars of moonstone prefer to 'keep to the shadows', and this part of their soul can aid them in that fortune.

19. Even if it meant failing at my duty/task, I would help someone in need. 3. I would sacrifice myself, if it meant saving someone else. 11. The ends never justify the means. 36. The natural cycle of the world will move on without me.
[attr="class","soulbody"] "Even if it meant failing at my duty/task, I would help someone in need."
Chalcedony is the crystal of Veira and the Pantheon of Wisdom. It is wisdom, community, meditation, and generosity. Those with a soul of chalcedony may seek to measure their words or actions before using them, not wanting to create conflict where it is not necessary, or be misunderstood. They may seek out groups of other individuals as a home, and may put less stock in individualism.

Jade is the stone of Fayana and the Pantheon of Nature. It represents stability, meditation, family, and fate. Those with jade in their soul believe that the world will move as it wants, and that they must simply move with it. Those with a jade pillar may be more reactionary than those without, or even more indecisive. These people do not often harp upon their pasts, or attempt to change what has gone, but instead live within the moments they have. Jade is often used to create representative tokens, things that are meant to display through metaphor one's purpose. Having a token of a jade bear, for example, may represent one's maternity or protective life. Having a token of a jade owl, on the other hand, may mark one as wise, and as one to turn to for answers.

Citrine is the crystal of Diassei and the Pantheon of Wealth. It represents structure, status, nobility, and achievement. Those with a soul of citrine either are, or have a sense that they are, superior to others. This may manifest in believing oneself to be more intelligent, creative, or strong than another, or that your worth is greater for some other reason - perhaps your purpose, or your lineage. Those of citrine often have strong family lines with important historical figures among their ancestors. Many use citrine charms as ways of encouraging financial luck.
