Empyreal Stones

Empyreal Stones is right in the middle of Anandkansara Bazar. If you’ve ever walked through the bazaar, you know how hectic it gets. There are people everywhere and the smell of food from the nearby stalls always drifts in. Our shop is small, and we have stones tucked away in little drawers all over the walls. It’s a bit of a mess to an outsider, but we know exactly where everything is. We spend a lot of time sorting through things, looking for specific sizes or colors. It’s hard on the eyes after a few hours. We usually have the radio playing some local station in the background to keep things from being too quiet. My father used to run this place, and not much has changed since then. The floor is a bit uneven, and the front door sticks if it’s been raining. We don't have a sales team or anything like that. Usually, it’s just me or my brother behind the counter. We don't try to rush people. If someone wants to look at stones for an hour, that's fine. We’ve seen a lot of changes in the bazaar over the years, but we’re still here doing the same thing. It’s a steady life, and we like the community here. Just a regular shop in a busy market. We see the same faces every morning when the stalls open up. It’s nice to have that kind of familiar routine after so many years in the same spot.
