Earths Special Gem Gift

Over looked by mount “Kilimanjaro”,
In 8 sq miles in the City Arusha near the “Merelani hills”,
limited quantities from our earths depths do we borrow,
the pseudo name “Tanzanite” draw many thrills,

A unique gem from the “Zoisite family”,
beautiful bright blue to purple in colour and rare,
discovered 1960, renamed for popularity  
only found in Tanzania to be completely fair.

Colour and clarity Rates high in the world,
as one of the most amazing in jewelry you see,
so many relationships, love endorsed and toes curled,
forever in our lives this rare glistening stone shall be.
