Malachite is the loveliest color
As is emerald, May’s birthstone
Chrysoprase makes my heart feel happy
There are so many verdant gems
They all reflect money, revitalization and new beginnings
When people wear them, I feel the vibrations in the room rise

Rocks appease me like nothing else can. Best of all, they are cheap, all over the place and the best price.
A born die-hard rock enthusiast, I love hard ones, smooth ones, speckled ones, and crumbly ones.
I enjoy their look, their touch, and sometimes the sounds they make when I hold them to my ear.
Discern feldspar from granite? Sure, but it is usually in it. Bloodstone from amber? Of course I can.
If I keep the beryl long enough, I’ll have a big hunk of emerald, but we are talking dynasties.
Give me something harder please, a new challenge, a stone I have never seen before.
Labs are creating new ones all the time? Oh, goody.
I graduated from rocks to gemstones; it was a natural progression.
Chrysoprase, opals, rubies, and moonstones are my personal favorites.
Occasionally an emerald or topaz calls to my heart, and I add it to my collection.
Unfortunately, my tastes are a little more expensive now, but I still bring home the free ones.

What Will Heaven Be Like PART III
The glory of the Lord all over your face
The glory of God is in this place
What will heaven be, what will it be like
Streets of gold, mansions foundation and city wall is adorned precious jewels
Foundation jewels jasper sapphire; chalcedony; emerald
Pure gold and diamond and onyx, carnelian, and bedellium
Ruby, sardonyx, sardius; and chrysolite, beryl, topaz, chrysoprase
Jacinth, amethyst plus crystal rivers transparent walls of gold
This and many other beautiful visons told
I wanna walk on them streets gold
As I ponder, this I wonder... what will heaven be like
