It says it all, really. Why use diamond if glass can be made such that an amateur canot distinguish it at all and a professional needs a microscope? Why pay exorbitant prices for rocks laboriously extracted from ground when they can be synthesised at a fracture of those costs?
It also sums up my feelings about using rare and exotic tropical hardwoods for woodwork.
This video was pretty funny.
Also, it sucks that people who, for some odd reason, want diamonds cannot at least use the synthetic ones.
According to Pffft,
“Most natural diamonds have ages between 1 billion and 3.5 billion years.”
That is pretty cool.
