Shiny Pyrite Exudes With Hope

In a gold miner’s camp shiny pyrite Showing a metallic excellence Prettier than the real thing Oohs and ahhs are all around Pyrite shared happily Revealed at last Losing her lore Fakery Untrue Gold Lone Pyrite Angel’s rock Optimism Exuding with hope Has her own properties Miner’s camp comes back to life A gorgeous stone is this pyrite? Appreciated for herself now Compared to no other rock or metal

I love Pyrite; were I around at the time, this might have been the precious metal--or course, I also think rainbows are more valuable (maybe because they can't be hoarded). Who knows? Another lovely read. Thank you.

I think pyrite is wonderful, I like CZs too though; anything shiny like rhinestones make me happy.
