078 – The Opal of Carmalovitch

A story about a mysterious man and the magnificent gem he’s trying to sell is what you will be falling asleep to tonight.. *CW* This story is a sad one and ends in suicide. A well-known London jeweller has a mysterious guest trying to sell a magnificent gem, but any reputable dealer needs provenance and the Russian man will just not tell his history or that of the gem. It ends sadly, but I’m sure you won’t be awake enough because this one will definitely help you sleep.
