The private room was typically off–limits to the public. It was only reserved for esteemed guests.

Rest assured. The raw gemstones in here were all hand picked by us.” Barret said with a grin. “Feel free to take a look and note down the number of any stone that catches your eye. The highest bidder takes it during the auction”

Eddy was immediately intrigued and walked over, using a high–beam flashlight to examine the raw gemstones.
