A magnificent blue opal

More than blue
A whole world of islands
floating in a zaffre sea
I could get lost in those
flecks of crystals
orbiting like a satellite
in an opaline universe.

Gorgeous stone, gorgeous response to the prompt. And kudos for finding the perfect “blue” word for us to ponder — zaffre.

Opal is my birth stone. – I own several…none like this!
And the verse matches the gem with perfection!
(Even though for the Opal it is the imperfections that make it a gem!)
