And you don't think giving 'laska a promise ring carries an unacceptable risk that she'll misconstrue it (possibly willingly) as a full-out proposal and start wedding planning on her own initiative?
You act as if she hasn't already begun, or that Atago hasn't. Of course, then there is the question of what sort of gemstone it would have-

Jane: Jade.

What?

Jane: The State gem of Alaska is jade. Therefore either the promise ring is made from jade or has jade as a stone.

Um, right, what Jane said.

Jane: *Smiles brightly*

Naka-chan stream starts.
There's nothing on cam.
There's still nothing on cam.
There's still nothing on cam, but now there's barley-audible grunting.
"Naakaaaa" boom! Something flies into the camera, jostling it so it can see the mouse.
A very smol Naka has her back against the mouse and his heaving with all her might to move it around.

In which case MiniMu goes full ham with the dancing, Smolzona runs around trying to get everyone into more modest clothing, and Snowflake took a wrong turn half an hour ago and somehow ended up in Nagato's cleavage.
'laska! (I knew I should have taken that right turn at Albuquerque)
Jane: Yes? And your point? Oh! And turquoise is Arizona's State Gem. You know, in case someone wants to know.
I'm desperate enough to try it...
 
I just pictured this:

*Jane Knocks on Naka's door*
Naka: *Answers* Jane! What can Naka-chan, Idol of the Fleet do for you? *Strikes cutesy pose*
Jane: Miss Naka, I was listening to one of your songs and when I glanced away from the screen I saw this.
*Jane holds up Mini-Naka*
Smolnaka: IIIdolll~!
*Cut to Jintsu watching her sister run through the naval base emitting a squee inaudible to human ears*

:D
Hahaha! That's adorable. Smolnaka will become a global phenomenon.

And then Minion's suffering increased tenfold.

And still no one knows where Smolbacore is.

*takes note of this information*
 
Jane: Alaska's State Mineral is also gold, and Arizona's is copper. Oh! And Washington's State Gemstone is petrified wood. *Looks to the side* You should remember that Miss Gale.
Gale: ... *Blinks and pauses in drinking some hot chocolate as she can't drink coffee*
 
Meanwhile, at the University of Illinois...

USS Illinois (BB-65): *Is currently stuck in a bed, due to being unfinished* "...Just my luck that my last remaining physical remains, my bell, was in the middle of the damn country, and as far away as you can get from a Naval base!" *Sighs* "I hope big sis isn't doing anything too stupid..."
 
Sadly, jade and gold wasn't really... popular combination. Copper and turquoise, though, might work on ring.

Regarding fossilized wood and coal... can Jet substitute both?

Yup, you just went there.

*nods sagely*
That is an impressive gif sir, though I am unsure as to what you mean by this. Was the joke not that Jersey would pound the first marine she could get her hands on into bone dust? I merely supply that Sky ever agreeing to such a physical encounter with our current protagonist is impossible, as he would never be unfaithful to his lovely Sara.

Unless she suggests it first, then all bets are off and things get interesting.

*sigh* The implacation is that Sky turned to bonemeal by way of night battle boarding action with Sara.

Yeah, I can sooo see that happening. Not to mention the fact that she, 'tago, Hamakaze, and Cameron's Mom are probably already planning the wedding. (As evidenced by the wedding dress she saw in the bridal shop that made Cameron somewhat uncomfortable.) We all know 'tago will be her Maid of Honor, and probably Hamakaze, Nachi, Tone, and Saratoga will be bridesmaids. Anyone else see Texas in a dual role as Honorary Mother of the Bride / In Charge of Catering? :D

Uh, Sara would be Mother of the Bride. Or did you miss the whole 'Operation: Get Mom Laid' thing where it was made clear that Sara's 'Laska's Momboat?
 
Well, if that doesn't work out...there is no state gem for Pennsylvania, but a lump of coal might not have the same negative connotations for her that it does for most.
Better make sure it's Anthracite coal, she'd have your ass if it was Bituminous

There are some REALLY nice ringmakers that do AMAZING things with polished wood

So long as whatever you're using isn't too soft to stand up to the stresses of being used for jewelry, you can use just about anything. The only limitations are the jeweler's skills and creativity, really.

Of course, quite a number of really cool looking minerals aren't up to those stresses. Most things below a 6-7 on Moh's Scale are probably too prone to scratches and damage to make good jewelry. Certainly, going below a 4 would be pretty bad. That's ignoring any tendency to fracture, mind. A lot of cool minerals are pretty much doomed to a life of living behind/under glass, or as 'don't touch' additions to someone's rock collection, sadly.
