D is for Don’t Have…Diamond

D

Since I do not own any Diamonds I can not show a picture of my stuff with it - But I will do my best to find a picture or link to a picture of a few excellent Diamond specimens

History

I believe we are all aware that the Diamond has had quite a history filled with romance, greed, murder, mayhem…and well of course love.
It is said that in the Middle Ages people spoke of the “divine brilliance on earth” Clearly these people have never seen a Swarovski Crystal ( I know I know huge difference but so sparkly)
It states in this book, which I have mentioned a few times already and will post again at the end - that in India the diamond was considered the stone of virtue and justice. The ruler administered justice while holding a diamond.
On here I am speaking only of Diamonds as a jewelry specimen but in reality diamonds are used in many areas involving industrial production.. Hmm I wonder if I could find some of those tools in a flea market hack them apart and keep the diamonds?… I know I know crazy talk but it amuses me.
