ARAGONITE

I am rarity, I am beauty, I am strength.

I am a stone of unassuming beauty. The main component of pearls, I symbolize hidden treasures and rarity.

I may appear unassuming, 

But don't judge by what you see.

I am stronger than I look.

You may think I'm delicate,

That I will break under pressure.

Yet I am strong; I am resilient.

I come from life; I am found in clams,

Mussels, oysters.

I am the shimmering within them.

I am what pearls are made of.

I am the foundation of such beauty;

The core of rarity;

The basis of treasures.

I am modesty, I am rarity, I am strength.

I am Aragonite.
