Oh yes, that is quite correct. However, as a
dealer in precious stones, I have no problems
in getting things like lapis lazuli, malacite and
most other of these materials at a very reasonable
(wholesale or less) price. I even have sold natural
pearls for those who want to try a Cleopatra
Cocktail to impress their cronnies. Sounds dreadful
tasting to me though.
