Mary : Have you ever seen a colored diamond?

[Volcano1985]

Mary : Have you ever seen a colored diamond?
Susan : Only in advertisement designed to attract the attention of the ultra rich.
Mary : ---- .
Susan : No, I didn't. But that's a good reason for not wanting one!

A) Australia's most prolific diamond mine is the Argy one.
B) Did you know that blue ones are rare than pink?
C) Did you realize that of the diamonds mined only a very small percent are of jewellery grade?
D) Did you know that colour in a diamond is due to a slight fault occurring in the development?
E) Prices have risen by over 25%over the past year.

I think B, you?

... more rare/rarer than pink ...

...blue colored diamonds are rarer than pink ones.

...that's a good reason for not wanting one! (blue one)

Can't we think so?

It's the word fault that's in focus. Diamonds are supposed to be flawless, no? So why by a flawed one?

That's my understanding.

I'd go for D as well.

Why not C as well?

Why not C as well?

It just doesn't seem quite right, the fact that not all diamonds are jewellery grade doesn't apply specifically to coloured diamonds.

Hi Brian,

Yeah, there is a degree of truth in what you say. I accept it. Thanks.
