Far From Fancy

A rock far from fancy
Though possessing genuine content
It's edges are quite uneven
It's value, more than cents

Most precious as timely discovered
Still needing much care and work
By not just halfhearted attention
Then brushed off with a careless smirk

For this item is unique and authentic
as shaping it could prove tough
But if someone would put forth the effort
They'd cut a diamond from the rough
