You’ve heard of diamonds, right? They’re like the Beyoncé of gemstones—everyone knows them, and they show up everywhere. But here’s the kicker: diamonds aren’t actually that rare. What is rare is finding a perfect, colorless, and flaw-free one.
Think of it like finding a parking spot at the mall on Black Friday. It happens, but you’ll probably cry first. The most famous, like the Cullinan Diamond (a whopping 3,106 carats in its raw form), are basically royalty. A diamond is just carbon that got its act together under intense pressure—kind of like me before a deadline.
