GEM
Pigeon- blood peerless brightest Ruby claims
precious position in the realm of gems.
In gold, purplish red Ruby overwhelms.
Term Ruby owes to Latin ‘Ruber’ or red,
Chromium causes red hue in every shade.
Corundum is the mineral in mine-bed.
Saturated colors in variety,
‘Cut’ cares for clarity and quality.
Price puts carat weight on priority.
Chanced to visit gem factory, largest,
tempted to buy a genuine stone, but best
bought for my daughter Ruby-set locket.
A Tribute to scarlet Ruby through poem,
My favorite fantastic fabulous finest gem.
