Born from the belly of the earth,
Shaped by unrelenting pressure.
Formless and unassuming until touched
by the hand of its Creator.
Polished and shaped into a brilliant
Jewel for eighteen years.
Dazzling in its brilliance now,
And priceless beyond compare.
No matter the setting its placed,
Or what jewels surround.
Shining in its own brilliance,
From a light that's within.
Precious and beautiful,
A treasure with value uncountable.
