Distinctly Green
Rich distinctly green chromatic crystals
grow in the molten heart of Mother Earth.
Aptly called gems of spring; emeralds are
stones of rebirth fertility and worth.
As tokens of unconditional love
emeralds became the birthstone of May.
Flawless jewels are exceptional finds
generating steep prices people pay.
Faceted by skilled hands of a master
light pools within a sea of liquid green.
And its allure borders on hypnotic
inviting your eyes to swim in its sheen.
Valued the world’s most expensive jewel
inclusion free emeralds are that rare.
A coveted crystal beyond all others
the largest diamond cannot compare.
