    Don, you sound really angry! 

    I don't think it is a marketing ploy. 

    I think that it's almost impossible to source some types of stones
    "conflict free" - so I wouldn't attempt it. Rubies and emeralds are
    amongst the most difficult to source. But it is possible, where you
    already know material to be so, to market it as such. 

    Australian saphires and opals, canadian diamonds, lab grown stones
    can be made into items and sold as such. Economically a
    client/customer can be charged extra for the research. 

    I think you'lll find that people who want an ethically clean piece
    will happily pay the extra.
