Russia Is Sitting on “Trillions of Carats” of Diamonds

Huh..  They've held onto this secret for close to 40 years now, and have no immediate plans to introduce these diamonds into the market.  What's the Master Plan, here?  Washington's Blog:

Enough to Supply the Global Diamond Market for 3,000 Years


Russia has just declassified a secret it has been keeping for 40 years: it is sitting on trillions of carats of diamonds, enough to supply the global diamond market for 3,000 years.

The diamonds are “twice as hard” as normal, making them ideal for industrial applications, such as diamond saws.

We’ve previously discussed an even bigger stash of diamonds which may eventually flood the markets: one which is 10 billion trillion trillion carats. (Off-planet, and waaaay into the future..)

It'll be a nice day when your Kay diamond engagement ring is 25 percent of one day's wages, yeah?  It'll be a wonderful day when  a huge chunk of any elite's portfolio resets at zero!  After all, diamonds might be forever, but that doesn't insure they won't someday become worthless!
