Black Opal

Your mood was as black as the opal Your eyes sparked of the fire of red and green One of the rarest stones on the planet The most rare is what you are to me Words can’t express the intensity The impact this precious stone evolves The knowledge you’re my own beauty *Silicone, hydrogen, oxygen are not involved I would wear you close to my body On a chain resting on my chest Let the warmth of those black moods Keep me smiling as you lay there at rest If I was a rich man a ring I would buy Made of this precious composition For you to wear, so that people can see You’re precious, though of a moody disposition *Black Opal The brilliant play of colour, or "fire," in these dark gems, along with their relative scarcity, causes them to be worth over $2300 per carat. Composition of a Black Opal: Silicon, Hydrogen, Oxygen | Market Value: $2,355 per carat.
