I know they are edible, tasty, & healthy. But, unless I was loss in the wilderness, I could't bring myself to eat grubs, even gourmet cooked ones. Still, I'd go hungry before I could force myself to kill anything for nutrition. Then I would cry, with empathy, the entire time. (I'm not a vegetarian.)

I wish I did but a good quality emerald is so expensive. Yes, there are "created" emeralds, but unlike diamonds which look great, the created emeralds do not.

To continue my story (this is 3/3), I was very envious when one of my best friends got faux emeralds for her birthday and wore them first. However, I was happy to wear mine anyway. My friends bulled me because I was a "copycat" even tho they all knew I had received mine first. #meangirls!
My parents got me faux emeralds as my first pair of pierced earings and I looked at them in the box until my mom could find the "self-piercing" rings that slowly worked into your ear over a couple of weeks. When I proudly wore my birthstone earings to school my best friends bullied.

No, I have no rubies, and I wept mock tears for my husband's benefit answering this.
