its amazing how much we value a worthless gem only because 1 company has a monopoly on the source and sets the price.

The value of diamonds is all about the power of marketing. How I enjoy hearing about monopolies run like cartels being smashed!

It seems appropriate for Tracy Hall to be abrasive. 😀 Lame jokes aside, he was a very nice chap - generous with his time, and patient with my questions. It was an honor to have met him.

I find the chemistry videos evaporating diamonds interesting. They're expensive. Tons of money go into mining them. Yet it just takes heat and a little extra added oxygen and they just evaporate away into nothingness.
