Bible verse
Coral and quartz are unworthy of mention; the price of wisdom is beyond rubies.

The verses around it, from Job 28.
14 The ocean depths say, ‘It is not in me,’ while the sea declares, ‘It is not with me.’
15 It cannot be bought with gold, nor can its price be weighed out in silver.
16 It cannot be valued in the gold of Ophir, in precious onyx or sapphire.
17 Neither gold nor crystal can compare to it, nor jewels of fine gold be exchanged for it.
18 Coral and quartz are unworthy of mention; the price of wisdom is beyond rubies.
19 Topaz from Cush cannot compare to it, nor can it be valued in pure gold.

21 It is hidden from the eyes of every living thing and concealed from the birds of the air.
22 Abaddon and Death say, ‘We have heard a rumor about it.’
