The Collected Poems of Maud Pie

Quartz

Quartz
You are not a rock
You are a mineral
But you are often a part of rock.
You are shiny
And a lot of ponies find you pretty on your own
But I like you better
When you are in a rock.

What was once art is now food. Maximum value, those clothes made from fruit leather be damned.

Incidentally the same book established her mother as being named "Cloudy Quartz" :P

Ouch, feel the burn quartz!

I remember that time when I found quartz as a little kid. I thought it was a diamond, because I was a dumb small child and thought that I could find diamonds just lying around in gravel. Quartz is cool, though. Like diamonds, quartz is a network covalent solid. Those are cool.
