 That's because you're a geologist.  You understand that diamonds are flat boring, but dead useful for abrasives... |

 I never liked pear-shaped diamonds, anyway. *sniff* |

		| I'll never understand he fascination with diamonds.  Chicks are weird, that's all I'm saying.   Women would love to have a $10,000 diamond while men would spend that same $10,000 on cool shit like TVs, fishing gear,  and power tools. |

 Yeah, but which items "hold their value" when it comes time to hit the pawn shop? |

 In fact? Neither.
 
 Colored stones, at least the best colored stones, really do tend to increase in value, or at least hold value.  Diamonds are almost always a poor investment, unless you're buying as a diamond buyer, but that's a different game entirely. |

 Well, I was using pawn shop metaphorically ... it would surprise me if, once you get into high-value stones, the ROI for a diamond would not be higher than for a TV or drill ...
 
 A diamond's a lot easier to lose though ... I don't think I'd want one unless I was planning on cutting my way in through some windows ...
