I Am Ammolite

I am ammolite,
a burst of fiery blue and green.
With flashes of red and yellow,
the most brilliant gemstone seen.

I am ammolite,
with colours hot and flashing.
All eyes gravitate to me
to see my vivid colours clashing.

I am ammolite,
Canadian through and through.
Found on the slopes of the Rockies.
I make the most beautiful jewelry its true.

I am ammolite,
admired for my colours bold.
The rarest gemstone on the earth, 
beautiful to behold.

I am ammolite.

I didn't know we had a stone by that name here. It sounds beautiful though with your description.

imagine an opal with a blue or red base instead of a white one
