Shop Atmosphere

“Zahra speaks in proverbs woven from desert imagery and often pauses to turn a gem in her hand while thinking. She keeps a small hourglass filled with golden sand on the counter; when bargaining, she turns it—three grains left signals she lowers her price slightly. She refuses to sell gems she believes are 'bound' to a place or person and will ask for a week to consult the sand if a gem's story seems troubled.”
