    Correct 🙂

    If you like pretty gems that sparkle and shine,
    I invite you to dig in my virtual mine.
    My first is purple, fit for a king,
    My second is green where Dorothy did her thing.
    My third is red, July's birthstone as well,
    My fourth is seen in strings and is found inside a shell.
    My fifth is hard, pure Carbon and expensive to buy,
    My sixth is Crocodolite, striped like the big cat's eye.
    Seventh is two words, a man-made fake of April's stone,
    Eighth is very dark and found at Lightning Ridge alone.
    Now take from each gem, one letter in its turn,
    And you will find the stuff for which even the god's yearn.

    A rich man's son was kidnapped. The ransom note told him to bring a valuable diamond to a phone booth in the middle of a public park. Plainclothes police officers surrounded the park, intending to follow the criminal or his messenger. The rich man arrived at the phone booth and followed instructions but the police were powerless to prevent the diamond from leaving the park and reaching the crafty villain.

    What did he do?

    Had a homing pigeon in the phone booth and called with instructions to attach the diamond to the pigeon and release it?

    first is amethyst (i think).
    second is jade (i think).
    third is the ruby.
    fourth is a pearl.
    fifth is diamond.
    sixth-given.
    seventh is...cubic zirconia!
    and eighth is....black opal.

    im unsure about the word though. although i think the guy who first answered was right.
