A gem of a puzzle
-
If you like pretty gems that
sparkle and shine,
I invite you to dig in
my virtual mine.
My first is purple, fit
for a king,
My second is green
where Dorothy did her thing.
My third is red, July's
birthstone as well,
My fourth is seen in
strings and is found inside a shell.
My fifth is hard, pure
Carbon and expensive to buy,
My sixth is Crocodolite,
striped like the big cat's eye.
Seventh is two words, a
man-made fake of April's stone,
Eighth is very dark and
found at Lightning Ridge alone.
Now take from each gem,
one letter in its turn,
And you will find the
stuff for which even the god's yearn.
