My Green Tourmaline

A pastiche

By Meredith HarmonPublished 2 years ago • 1 min read
A glorious sheeeeen....

Set in silver this will really shine

A few more facets and it will be mine

I am a jeweler and that is my sign

Now watch me display

My green tourmaline

*****

Watch the grinding wheel do its thing

Reflections of the light set in a ring

Working with verdite, it feels like spring

A crystalline buffet

My green tourmaline

*****

It's worth each dime, no one should walk away

For such exquisite work, you'd gladly pay

My awesome skills you would not demean

What else is in my tray?

My green tourmaline

*****

Wear it every day...
