Diamonds are Forever >>>

[<=xjemler=>]

'Trillions of carats' lie below a 35-million-year-old, 62-mile diameter asteroid crater in eastern Siberia known as Popigai Astroblem. The Russians have known about the site since the 1970s.

Russia has just declassified news that will shake world gem markets to their core: the discovery of a vast new diamond field containing "trillions of carats," enough to supply global markets for another 3,000 years.

They decided to keep it secret, and not to exploit it, apparently because the USSR's huge diamond operations at Mirny, in Yakutia, were already producing immense profits in what was then a tightly controlled world market.

Scientists are claiming that this gigantic deposit of industrial diamonds could revolutionize industry as it is good for technological purposes, not for jewelry, and far exceeding the currently known global deposits of conventional diamonds.

The Soviets discovered the bonanza back in the 1970s and decided to keep it secret, and not to exploit it, apparently because the USSR's huge diamond operations at Mirny, inYakutia, were already producing immense profits in what was then a tightly controlled world market.

Russian Geological and Mineralogical Institute said the diamonds include other molecular forms of carbon and could be twice as hard as conventional diamonds and therefore have superlative industrial qualities.

demand and supply should dictate that the price drops right?

Why are you all so concerned about the price dropping?
These are industrial grade diamonds.

De Beers has monopolised the international diamond market for more than the last 100 years by either buying out most of the diamond producing mines and companies in the world, or convincing producers to join them through whatever deals or business practices.

So now, if they cannot get control of this new share, diamond prices may drop and quality may increase overall in the market if the claims turn out to be what they are worth.


Diamonds... anyone read the H. Rider Haggard novel "King Solomon's Mines" with Allan Quatermain?
