No doubt the person who found it got an extra piece of bread for dinner.
Oh boy, a shiny rock
Goddammit Marie. That form isn't natural for a mineral.
"Natural" diamonds are a manufactured luxury. Lab-made are just as well, if not better, but big diamond is really pushing the "rocks we find in the ground are better". Even though the diamond industry has their hands covered in blood.
Diamonds aren't even cool anymore. Laboratory gems, however, are fucking awesome.
Oh, that's mine. I dropped it last week. Please return, thank you!
Cool. Throw it at De Beers CEO Al Cook next time he gives a press conference like Bush and the shoes.
