Inside the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, stones are seen used for something other than trade. Here sits a statue of the Virgin Mary covered in 200,000 donated gemstones. It does not matter what they would sell for at market; they are there as a gift to the community. It is a reminder that gems have a soul and a history that goes deeper than a price tag.
