My favorite gemstone is citrine, the color reminds me of stars!
What’s your favorite gem? Or mineral? Or rock? If you have multiple, please, say what they are.
Then I’ll ask “Why?”, why is it your favorite? Is it the color? The shape? Or maybe the size?
If you like red, I suggest the ruby. It’s dark mysterious crimson should appeal to your eyes!
Not a fan of red? How about orange! Then you should like the gemstone carnelian, it’s colored like fire!
Orange isn’t your favorite? Let’s try yellow instead, the shade of orpiment is something to admire.
Which color’s your favorite? You have to have one! Have I listed it yet? Must I go on?
A green gem next, malachite perhaps! This gem is green and laced with black, a true beauty to gaze upon.
Is blue your favorite? Then a sapphire for sure, they come in so many colors but the best is the ocean blue!
What about purple! Surely Alexandrite is the winner! The most marvelous shade, it’s perfect for you!
Which of these gems do you like best? Which color’s your favorite? I have more up my sleeve!
Let’s try pink this time! I suggest spinel, this gem is an amazing shade of pink you won’t believe!
White is pretty, let’s give that a try! How about moonstone? It’s iridescent white is so unique and beautiful!
If you like the mysterious color of black, I have the perfect one for you, of the black gems onyx is the most wonderful!
