Most of this info is readily available anywhere. *shrugs*

Also, the Russians control many of the African mines.
DIAMONDS ARE NOT RARE.

Instead price- fixing and good marketing strategies are to thank for the prices. If the companies really wanted to, they could release a flood of diamonds onto the market and force prices down.

I really wished you had gone into detail about the diamond mines and "conflict diamonds" in Africa and digging for diamonds for 14 hours a day with a stick. Because, sadly, the post seems to be an unsubstantiated rambling because you allude to, but do not present a majority of the evidence.

But, like I said, anyone can find out the deal on diamonds if they want. And I hope they will.
