My Paraiba Tourmaline Gem

Arresting red & vivid blues

The gem with Caribbean-blue eyes

Fragile pinks scattered in hues

In the twilight evening skies

 

Colors burst with dazzling range

Shades of blue, green, pink, and gold

Time over time they never change

Like butterfly wings they unfold

 

Stones verily leaping over each other

in flashes of rich colors competing

There’s no words I can utter

My heart is heavily beating

 

Paraiba Tourmaline you’re queen

In the realm of all the gems

Your emerald and yellowish-green

There’s no comparison now or then
