Their colors speak

"There is in them a softer fire than the ruby, there is the brilliant purple of the amethyst, and the sea green of the emerald - all shining together in incredible union. Some by their splendor rival the colors of the painters, others the flame of burning sulphur or of fire quickened by oil."

~Pliny

Although I intend to win, I encourage you to enter as well.

"These gems have life in them: their colors speak, say what words fail of."
