Octahedral obeisance






Uplifting quotes ("Invest in the human soul. Who knows, it might be a diamond in the rough"), famous lyrics ("I'll buy you a diamond ring, my friend If it makes you feel alright"), marketing slogans ("Diamonds are Forever") all with one thing in common. There's even the London slang: "he's a diamond geezer"; except now it's not just geezers: now anyone can be a diamond, no, literally! Hat-tip: James Halling at The Commentator. I am assuming turning dead loved-ones into Remembrance diamonds isn't 'the done thing' or maybe even illegal in the UK as it isn't even listed in Algordanza's website. Or maybe the idea's been put on ice.



(The crystal habit of a diamond is octahedral)
