EMOTIONAL GuRL asked:


A diamond is 58 times harder than the next hardest mineral on earth, corundum, from which rubies and sapphires are formed. It was only during the 15th century that it was discovered that the only way to cut diamonds was with other diamonds..

but how is it by just using a hammer and a hard hit on it.. the diamonds will shatter?
is it possible?

ladydecorator asked:


My boyfriend and I went on a ride at the funfair called hearts and diamonds, its where you stand in a circled cage, it spins round and the g force keeps you to the edge.
We have both been on similar rides and never felt any pain, it felt like someone was pulling our heart muscles, we found it hard to breathe as we both in terrible pain.
We had quite a few drinks the night before, so wanted to know if this was the reason our bodies not cope with the g- force, when normally we would be ok.

WitsEnd asked:


My boyfriends, ahem, ex boyfreind is an electrician….he says that there’s real diamond mineral in a diamond cutter, but this can’t be true. I have lots of diamonds on my fingers & I know that a diamond is a mineral, so how can it be theses rare & expensive minerals are used to make builders tools?????

Surely it’s called a diamond cutter because of it’s shape or something????????? Well
Who here has learnt about diamond cutters in school???????

I was wrong, I admit that

Amber M asked:


My husband is in the middle east right now and said something about the markets over there are selling desert diamonds or sand weathered diamonds So I was just wondering if anyone knew what they were and what they looked like.

OK asked:


I read an article that said it is cheaper to make artificial diamonds than mine them, and they can get the same quality. Is that true? If so then why aren’t they putting all the diamond mines out of business? It would be great to see Debeers and the greedy diamond cartel go bust.
