Less than precious Stones

I'm so glad you asked
a brilliant question for which
I have a dull answer.

Brilliance has to do
with shine and
dullness with personality.

Like in dimwitted.
A brilliant can be dulled
which makes it less brilliant.

Yet it doesn’t make it
dimwitted. Like some people
are smart but not intelligent

while others are intelligent
but not smart at all. Like how
I'm trying to answer here.

Let’s bet with your polish
you can hone my answer
better than I can lap it.
