Hi patsyann - My answer was checked with the following link and there are very many more hits on Google, quoting 'Rubies' (which are gems, unlike pearls). However, I would not claim to be an expert on the Bible. Ref: http://bible.cc/job/28-18.htm

Hi Johnalex. I see what you mean.I am not well versed on the Bible either it was just that pearls of wisdom seemed to come into my mind so I checked my old school bible.There seems to be a varied number of quotes with Ruby more than Pearl.You are correct Pearls are not Rock Gems.I think that you are correct. Sorry.

Thanx patsyann - No need to apologise as I could well have been wrong. All good clean fun and learning all the time! ja
