It’s the blood that gives it that healthy pink glow.

The general public would not be able to tell the difference.

Sadly Spring break is just when the shootings move down to Florida for a week.

there's always a chance that someone sees it on national news that has connections to the school/area, so I personally disagree.
for example, I live very close to this school & actually attend this exact campus where this happened. I've had multiple friends and family members contact me & my mom in the last two hours making sure I'm okay because they saw it on national news.

If it turns out to be a Rose Quartz... it's lying.

Everyone wishes they were one of the problem creators that could afford ridiculous shit like this instead of eating the ones that can as the world burns from their fine work.
Keep your eye on the ball. Almost all of our nation's problems stem from the actions of oligarchs dictating their will to government and propagandizing us to further enrich themselves exclusively because millions and billions are still never enough to satiate their greed disease.
If you're fighting any war but class war, you're just playing their division game as they want you to.

I assume they got it out quickly as a shooting is a major event & it's important for that news to be spread around, especially in the area where it happened

Media just wanted to get it out ASAP for the ad revenue/clicks.
30 years ago this would have been isolated to the local newspaper.
Now we got half the country on edge thinking it's another school shooting like Covenant or Sandy Hook.

Because the entire element of chance is removed. A thing ceases to be rare and beautiful if it is intentionally replicated in a laboratory.
It’s like instructing an AI to recreate one of Monet’s Water Lily paintings. The AI will easily do so, perhaps flawlessly, but it would not sell for tens of millions like an original because it is deliberate and inorganic. Blood diamonds are a plague, as well as the entire exploitative aspect of the gem mining industry - but there are very valid reasons as to why synthetic gems aren’t preferred by the general public.

Yeah, we were actually consoling each other with that belief for a short time - my gut didn't believe it. I so wanted it to be true. And then, once again, a certain group said "it's too soon to talk" and I knew it was done.
