hey, brown eyed people: I know you aren’t the readily described. No writer can match a gem to your hues, you’re seen as boring, uninteresting. But let me tell you. your eyes are fertile earth, the ploughed fields, rich and sustaining. Your eyes are rings of ancient trees, wise and profound. your eyes are swirling chocolate comfort on a cold day, radiating warmth, so soothing. Your eyes are nature at her most beautiful. Be proud of your peepers.

You kidding me?

Light brown eyes are deepest amber, sparkling carnelian, flashing tigereye.

Dark brown eyes are polished mahogany, shining jet.

Get outta here with this “can’t pick a gemstone” stuff.

your eyes are tiger’s eye stones, the mesmerizing dance of shades and tones in the light

your eyes are dravite, or brown tourmaline, the golden brown of perseverance

your eyes are chiastolite, or cross stone, the wardens of the Fae realms

heterochromic? your eyes are sundial shell, prophets of the sea

your eyes are septarian, or dragonstone, the armour of your soul where others foolishly bare theirs through the mirror of their eyes

and those are just off the top of my head

TLDR: you absolutely can find brown gemstones to compare eyes to, if you’re not fucking lazy
