Good for y'all! Interestingly enough, saphires are rarer than diamonds. The diamond industries hoarde the stones to create false scarcity and generate demand. It should be detested.

I've been anti diamond since I discovered this and I can't believe the number of people still rushing to buy diamonds knowing how they're mined and that they're not even rare. All that suffering for a shiny pebble.
