Yep Jac, shor-nuff! That is how I ended up sleeping, and waking up in the kitchen, next to tha sink! That's how I got sink-r-nized for the sleep dis-order I used to has. Thats right...
WOW...it's hard to wrap my mind around a "walk-in" fireplace! That would be a trip. I have seen the ones big enough, that you would step down 3-4 steps into a sunken fireplace/den area, with seating available...but to sit "in" the fireplace, would be a trip.
Carbonado, commonly known as the "Black Diamond", is a natural polycrystalline diamond found in alluvial deposits in the Central African Republic and Brazil. Its natural colour is black or dark grey, and it is more porous than other diamonds.
They are still considered diamonds, except with a different quality and/or or value.
