[ There's probably some deep and heart-moving double meaning here. Something something, quartz is just as rare and valuable as amethyst, something something, 'worth' is only defined by the biased observer.
But that's too many sentences. Too much work. The smile gets a pointed squint - not quite a glare, but almost - and the gold eyes dart up to the jewelcrafter running the stand. They've already gotten that one bright smile of "oh, someone who knows what they're talking about, eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-".
Hah. Too old for this. The only sign of something amiss is the bad habit of scratching at his hair. ]
