    I'm certainly not an expert in gems, either. I'm still at the stage
    in learning jewelry-making where I use "pretty stones", not "precious
    gems". I know a little more about human behavior. 

    If nobody buys the gems coming from those mines, and there is no
    reason for these mines to stay in operation, what happens to those
    people then?
