Gemstone Poetry
Throughout history, colored gemstones were used to describe every event from a joyous birth to a
painful death.  Gemstones were used to express every facet of human life and experience.  They
were used to illustrate sacred events, holidays, emotions, unique events, or every day common
events.  

Authors and poets use the vibrant colors of gemstones to paint a picture in your mind, much similar
to the way an artist creates a picture for your eyes.  

The poems that follow were translated from their original language into English for your enjoyment.
