Sparkly crystals typically found on pavement in parking ramps, parking lots and sides of streets. These crystals are mined through efforts of extreme greed, mainly in the regions of San Francisco, Oakland and San Jose. Authorities haven’t pursued the regulation of the harvesting of these crystals and in fact encouraged it through policy decisions leaving the free market to drive their harvesting. Entities like Safelite and AAA have greatly profited greatly from the sharp rise in their popularity. Generally harvested by lower class populations due to the low bar to enter this highly lucrative sector, it has lead to explosive growth. Driven by demand, consumers don’t seem to care the color or clarity unlike more traditional precious stones, gray, green and blue are the most common shades.
“Wow, look at all these California Diamonds on the ground in this parking garage! I don’t think these are ethnically sourced, let’s park somewhere else.”
