Sleeping Beauty Turquoise
Sleeping Beauty Turquoise with speckled white
Adorns a silver band to cast a spell
Worn to give a power to hand in sight
And share its story silent it will not tell
Its choice of colors range from green to blue
A gem of softer stone cannot be found
This sacred stone of courage kept in view
And laid among the dead in tombs they're bound
The Persian Kings adorned their royal gown
Of bluest turquoise without a vein of brown
And set in silver bands for a crown
For this gem their country was renown
The beauty of this gem is to behold
And kept across the ages a thousandfold
