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.
