where do i begin

i stare at the rock
i found
down by the creek.
i've wiped off the mud
and algae after lugging
it up the hilll. i've swept
away the little insects
that are crawling
all over, now staring 
up at me.
it has a marble like look
about it. some sparkle
and shine,
as if it may be of value.
maybe it can be
broken down into
valuable gems
that can be given to
love interests on special
days.
valentine's, birthdays, etc.
i can probably, with the right
tools and mining equipment
get fifty rings out
of this rock.
maybe a necklace or two,
but where do i begin.
