Maybe a little bit too normal, considering the money behind them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A short structure, plain walls, nothing eye-catching.

Extraction, processing, distribution. It was old, established and with a long history.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Images of gemstones appeared. Bright ones, mostly. Blues, reds, greens.
