Down in Bism we have them alive and growing. There I'll pick you bunches of rubies that you can eat and squeeze you a cup full of diamond-juice. You won't care much about fingering the cold, dead treasures of your shallow mines after you have tasted the live ones of Bism.
Also, ich bin ein nerd.
Raffaele Monti’s, The Veiled Vestal Virgin, detail, 1847, unattributed
This is the most beautiful sculpture I have ever seen
