Hey hot take here but there is absolutely no reason to continue mining for gem quality stones especially diamonds because

A. The diamonds we actually use for industrial purposes do not need to be gem quality and are actually fairly common

B. There’s a whole fucking lot already in circulation precious stones don’t disintegrate they get passed down through the years

C. Artificial gems are aesthetically indistinguishable to the layman at this point anyway (plus lab diamonds are neat)

The amount of corruption and human suffering in the gem mining world is fucking ridiculous and the only reason is for bullshit status symbols for the outrageously wealthy
