Beneath the silent stones they lie,
Quiet treasures of time gone by,
In shadows deep and caverns old,
Their secrets in silence, untold.

Sparkling under the moon’s soft gaze,
Crystals dance in a mystic haze,
Born from the earth’s eternal night,
They shimmer with ethereal light.

Diamonds whisper of pressure and time,
Rubies hum with a fiery rhyme,
Each mineral a tale to impart,
Of nature’s artistry, a work of heart.

In every shard, a universe spun,
A testament to battles won,
Minerals, the earth’s gentle lore,
Holding mysteries forevermore.
