Did Celestia steel the jewel from a famous zebra war hero? What is going on here?! |

I think it's a reference to the British royal families crown jewels. |

Gems are just rocks. If you give them value, you only validate the sort of wicked mentalities that saw fit to steal them in the first place. Let foreign kings and queens glory in their shiny pebbles, and take your victory in your disdain for their meaningless trinkets. |

^ Gems are the hardest things found on earth. They have plenty of practical purposes. |

^Except we manufacture our diamonds used for industrial purposes.
Natural diamonds are just basically in jewelery these days. |

^ Natural diamonds?
They are either cut for jewelry or stuck to the end of a drill for strength. |

Diamonds are not rare, and they're really not that hard to make either. |

^ hard to make, what?
And yeah, they arn't rare. The 'perfect' diamonds however, are. |

Zecora still remembers the horrors of Leopony II's rule of Zebrabwe. |

And then Zecora was embarrassed when she was reminded that Celestias jewels comes from the mountains right in the middle of Equestria and that they have nothing to do with the Zebra homeland. |
