Black Diamond

In olden times we used coal as a heating fuel to keep
us all warm, it also powered ships and steam engines
and industry, it was very cheap and everyone used it
The people were all unaware that this same coal was
transformed into something extremely valuable and
was worth a fortune, I refer to the diamond found
inbedded inside rock walls and large caverns, the
coal there was put under tremendous pressure for
thousands of years to become the diamond, the
hardest mineral ever found and whoever owned
them would be wealthy beyond belief, the diamonds
when refined would become glittering jewellery,
owned by the rich and admired by the poor,there
are regular diamond expose's where there are so
many exhibits of these beautiful diamond works of art.
