I read an article in the paper the other day about blue diamonds, which are very rare. They’ve discovered that they are formed deeper in the earth than other diamonds. Also, a month or so ago, I read about a study where the scientists concluded that there are probably vast amounts of diamonds deep within the Earth’s crust. They think there are probably billions of them down there. What if they are all blue, since they are so deep down? Or maybe some other color? What if we had a way to get them? How much would we still love diamonds if they weren’t so rare anymore? I think it is fascinating to think we might be living on a diamond encrusted planet.
