Alexander the Diamond?
A "gem" for your thoughts
Alexander, Alexander you shine so bright
I can't believe you're the OG mood changer dependent on light.
Or is the light dependent on you? Have you got everyone fooled?
Nope, don't worry I am going to take these "jewelry owners" to school.
The first gazer from Finlad discovered your beauty.
Of course he felt it was his duty to
share your uniqueness with the world.
You were named after Russian royalty
The Ural mountains held you down with their loyalty.
Co-existence between the mountain and stones
So similar with humans and their bones.
From the skeleton of the mountain rock
Broken down to the atom of the block
Was a tiny piece of you changing colors
So vivid in your color scheme the mineralogist knew you weren't like the others.
Multiple tests and the best of the best
Technology, lights and microscopes
Curious viewers say it ranges from ruby to taupe.
So much value in the lightest carat
It is no mystery why everyone wants to wear it.
But no! You are far from a regular stone
Hell you are the "Beyoncé" of jewelry alone.
So go ahead with your bad self and I say with delight
Make sure your hands are "clean" when you encounter the rare gem
ALEXANDRITE!
