Anypony can eat gems. Digestion is another matter.

And Fleur is bestpony.

No, but it appears highly likely that ponies cannot eat gems.

It's pronounced "Te-ah-low-ve"

It's possible diamond dogs may too, since they collect so many, but we've never seen them do it, so...

Can think outside the box, inside the chimney and would really like a Tylenol, thanks.

#59879 kegisak Sat, 24th Dec '11 2:08:39 PM

I think those diamond dogs muct have just been a gang, or something. They probably sold them.

#59880 The Freeman Sat, 24th Dec '11 2:09:06 PM from Hialeah,FL.

I think it'd be the same as eating rocks for a pony.

No more complaining. No more "Mr. Kimble, I have to go the bathroom". Nothing! There is no bathroom!

Huh, Rarity would be perfect for making edible underwear for dragons.

... excuse me while I hit myself "THWACK!"

But they probably don't want to just eat random grass unless they're starving.

Yeah, eggs aren't chicken babies, they're chicken periods.

About that.

I don't think any other birds encountered in the wild lay those? Because a swallow would terribly laste her time and resources laying and incubating eggs that will never hatch.

If yes, that's an interesting genetic anomaly, then.

Granted, the only other bird I know that lays eggs massively consumed by humans is Japanese quail.

Why would they? Jewels are apparently so common in Equestria they'd have practically no value.

They have, like, a LOT of them. And you know what else is common IRL? Diamonds.

Another thing. Anyone familiar with Western jewelcrafting clasification?

Russian classification, heavily based on the traditional Ural one, divides everything used by jewelcrafters in two categories: precious and craftable, with massive amounts of groups inbetween.

As in, you have precious stones like diamonds, craftable like jade and onyx, and then something more precious than craftable like saphhire, and more craftable than precious like quartz.

Maybe they just like staring at them.

Or something.

Diamonds are common here, but in Equestria, anyone can go out and literally dig in their backyard (much less than a day trip from Ponyville, in "A Dog And Pony Show") and find massive gems. There's no pony De Beers, after all. =)

Can you think inside the chimney?

#59893 Applelight Limited Sat, 24th Dec '11 2:18:23 PM from Manehattan to Canterlot

Fantasy Dwarfs lust for gold for no other reason than a desire to have it...it's been descibed as being similar to a dying man in the desert gasping for water...maybe D Ds are the same for diamonds?

Well, yeah. That's the main difference.

anyone can go out and literally dig in their backyard

Not everyone can actually find those.

And yet... the Fire Ruby

Rarity all but Creamed her non-existant pants upon seeing it. Clearly some gems are still insanely valuable

There's also the fanon suggested earlier that the DD are really enslaved by a dragon to gather food.

#59897 L Mage Sat, 24th Dec '11 2:20:11 PM from The Moon

I would say gems are prolific but not common. I get the feeling that Rarity's gem finding spell is well...rare (no pun intended). Anyone can go dig for gems, but there is never any guraente they will find them, that's why the Diamond Dogs wanted Rarity so much, she could assure they would find gems.

Some gems might also be common and worth more then others. Say...a diamond is found once every ten rubies (or something).

#59898 thefran Sat, 24th Dec '11 2:21:36 PM from a microwave oven

Truth.

Rarity has an absurdly long ranged gem-finding ability, too. Like, ridiculously long.

I think Twilight Sparkle can find gems around herself much more effectively, but she won't be able to keep it up all the time or find gems across the whole Equestria.

Say...a diamond is found once every ten rubies (or something).

Yeah. Probably there are no precious stones, but our precious stones are semi-precious I, semi-precious I are semi-precious II, semi-precious II are craftable I etc.

Serpentine is pretty much literally like cobblestones there.

on second though, truth in television for Ural!

The gems really weren't buried that deep, a simple excavation of any scale would be able to find them quite simply. They even come in clusters by the looks of it

... I wonder if there would be a pony Nando's. I bet Pinkie Pie would be their best customer, always ordering the X Sauce.

If you wish to know, you only need to ask.
