EDIT:i applaud Tiffany!
<<Tiffany's deserves our praise and patronage for making this ethical decision," said Aung Din, co-founder of USCB who spent over 4 years behind bars as a political prisoner. "Mining in Burma supports the ruling dictators while bleeding the Burmese people, which is why no one should buy these 'blood gems.'">>
And i am also smiling because this is the first hope i have had that this horrific tale is getting heard, at least by Tiffany.

I should add i have no problem with those that seeking jadeite or ivory art if they can get unshakeable proof of its age.

They need the hard,solid proof or they could well be dealing in the Jade and Ivory of modern times as i am sure there is fraud in trying to pass off these as from the dark past of colonialism rather than the present era.
