Such rare and unique gems with facets for sale! What is the world coming to.

I once read a trade magazine that had sapphires almost as bad in a pendant on the cover. They were lauded for being unique, distictive and personal. I hope they stay rare and the BS only grows roses. Sorry for the flower part, I have been mulching all morning.

Well, this has already happened to diamonds (using industry grade stones in jewelry). I really suppose it is only a matter of time before it spreads.

Is it considered as animal cruelty if I buy one and put it in my aquarium?
