The following quote is from Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone by Diana Gabaldon, chapter 22, “Ashes, Ashes. . .” Copyright 2021 by Diana Gabaldon, all rights reserved.

“I was rubbing a handful of damp leaves between my hands to clean them when I realized that there was a pebble among the leaves.
I tossed it away, but caught a glimpse of vivid color as it flew through the air, and grabbed it up again.
It was a raw emerald, a long rectangular crystal of cloudy green in a matrix of rough rock.
I looked at it for several moments, rubbing my thumb gently over the surface.
‘You never know when it might come in handy, do you?’ I said, under my breath, and tucked it into my bag.”
