Remember thinking like that too, that the story of a stone didn't matter as long as it was beautiful. Learning about the real human cost behind some mines completely changed my mind for good. Now I feel like not knowing is a luxury we can't afford anymore. That history is part of the piece whether we like it or not. Telling the client might hurt, but hiding it feels like lying about what they own. The truth lets them decide what that history means to them.

Was it perfect though...
