Gemstones

Life creates many things, from plants to animals but many forget the most vital creation that begun many millennia ago; the birth of planet Earth. Only a cloud of debris existed in the cosmos that swirled under gravity; slowly clumps of ordinary looking stone begun to stick together after a thunderous impact; heat generated within. These mundane stones grew bigger; their journey had suddenly begun. Earth has many secrets hidden beneath its outer shell but sometimes it hints at the glory of its power to create. The earth we walk on is created by magma so hot it glows in the night; still the Earth has secrets; gemstones are created by such natural events. Some are more cherished than others then yet some are even eaten without a single thought. Some sparkle like stars, some shine like gold while others are dull and inert but have such colours, like a rainbow, they brighten up a smile when found. However how a gemstone appears they are still a creation of Earth; powerful, resilient and beholder of beauty.
