In this 114th Episode of 40 and 20, the Watch Clicker Podcast, we dig deep into the history of, manufacturing process, and value of sapphire crystals, and attempt to answer the question whether a sapphire crystal is the right crystal for you (spoiler: it depends).
We also talk about some ways to up your game in the kitchen and via thank you notes.
