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.
