When I first saw this I said nah...no way. Then I read the article. See for yourself. If you could would you go for a piece of that rock?

I've never been a fan of diamonds, or gold. Now if they found a planet primarily comprised of amethyst, that would be a different matter. Mmmmm, purple!

The semi-precious stones are really worth more than the diamonds which are a totally artificial market. They are also more beautiful imo and have 'personalities' ... diamonds are vanilla.

I couldn't have said it better, Doc. Plus we can make diamonds that are better than the ones nature produces, and diamond has far better uses than being stuck on a ring LINK
It's reckoned that diamond semiconductors could operate at 81Ghz. Imagine that in your PC!

Yeah but can you get 'em that big? A diamond so huge would make all else pale in comparison.

Amen to that. Besides, having a gemstone ring is much more personalized and unique, that carries way more meaning than some big fancy diamond rock to try to show up the Joneses.

That's cool...but diamonds are overrated.
