    Diamonds are valuable for only one very weak reason. Vanity! It’s the rich wanting to flaunt the idea that only they are worthy of such baubles and that only the lower slave class are worthy of breaking their backs mining the damn things for them! Diamonds are a very common thing. They have more value embedded on a drill bit or saw blade than they do on some snobs finger, ears or around their worthless neck!
