Eye of the Beholder

I was studying colorful stones, which includes pretty much everything except diamonds. Of course, one trait of all gems is beauty:

 

"But because beauty is in the eye of the beholder, it isn't always easy to categorize what's beautiful and what isn't. One accepted definition of beauty holds that it's a combination of qualities that delight the senses or appeal to the mind. In other words, a thing of beauty might not cause everybody to react the same way, but it will cause everybody to react — it will have a visual appeal."

 

Isn't this applicable to beauty of all things, great and small? What a little nugget I found and now share with you!
