A Gem That Tricks

A GEM THAT TRICKS

A   Aficionados of gems find this gem emerald by day,ruby by night

G   Gem so rare and ravishing turns trickster in the light 
E   Embellishment in gold to adorn your beloved’s ring or pendant 
M   Mother Nature’s chameleon in stone, shiny and resplendent !   

T  This shares its status as June birthstone with cultured pearl and moonstone   
H  Hosts a magic show this pleochroic gem through its dramatic colour tone
A  Alexandrite is this precious gemstone genuinely gracious sans prudery
T  This mined in the Urals, named after Czar, seen in prized estate jewellery 

T The ladies with pride can flaunt one stone as two, in day and in night
R Radiating green or purplish red matching their dresses with delight
I  Invest once on this dear hubbies, it will save you from demand twice
C Chrysoberyl is the embedded mineral causing colour changes so nice 
K Kaleidoscope of gems this is with vivid hues and healing energy  
S Strengthens creativity and intuition as believed in astrology!

Anu, Wow, a pleasant read and a geology and vocabulary lesson to boot! "Pleochroic" went right to my book of good words. And I'll have to look into Alexandrite for my wife--two gifts in one, as you point out. Thanks for this poem. So fun. Should do well! (Acrostic, also. Nice.) Thanks, Dave
