Color Me Azurite

In a world with billions, Of colors bright and bold; Color me azurite; Malachite and lapis Veined with golden pyrite; Yes I am azurite. I’m baked in the ground Until I am found; And I’m chipped away From my mother’s womb; Cut and set in gold. Now color me Expensive please; These days I am So very rare. Over-mined, Earth’s robbed blind; So unfair. Still a Beauty; I.

Many thanks, so do I and just about every other stone I can get these days; they're over mining so many that things like Botswana Agate are becoming very rare so, I've used more glass and ceramic beads lately.
