Move over Diamonds you're old school

[TriplexDread]

Will they be cheaper or more expensive?
Will Natural Diamonds value drop?

It's amazing what they can do nowadays! I find it all totally mind boggling but fascinating. I've been reading a book about Quantum Physics recently, and hearing about physicists conducting experiments on the subatomic level in the early 20th Century just astounds me.

It's its own thing, which means that scientists have created a new form of solid carbon that probably otherwise does not exist on Earth.

"We've now created a third solid phase of carbon," said N.C. State researcher Jay Narayan and lead author of three papers on the innovation. "The only place it may be found in the natural world would be possibly in the core of some planets."

And it has some properties that make it different from diamonds. It's even harder. But the clincher -- it's ferromagnetic. That means it can be magnetized.

It could become a very useful material, researchers say.

Its intense glow could make electronic displays brighter and clearer.

Awesome

OK, so Ian offers to buy Becky a diamond and she says no?

1.A lady will NEVER say no to diamonds.
2.If she says no, 5 seconds later it will be a yes!
3.Trust me Ladies LOVE diamonds!!
