Something’s Going On
It’s as if the jeweler is waiting for him when he walks in the door. He was welcomed warmly and greeted right away. Perhaps Mark had mentioned the stone to the jeweler, or else there was something else going on behind Oliver’s back.

The gem dealer requested Oliver’s opinion on the stone. His shock at the sight of the stone was Oliver’s first clue that he was on to something. There was no light emanating from the stone. After that, Oliver was invited to “feel it” by the jeweler.
