And that shit is expensive

Expensive .... and a racket.

Also it's literally just overpriced carbon. Others rocks are so pretty and slightly cheaper so ya know

They're literally only expensive because a single company owns the entire world's supply, keeps and distributes them from private warehousing and D/C's, and because of heavy marketing campaigns pushing their worth and value. They're valuable because people said they are, and everyone else hopped onto the bandwagon.

Fucking fuck I got so pissed at this when I went for an interview - you mean I have to sit there and rewrite, by hand, all 11 pages of qualifications and job experience? Get outta here.
