Oil, oil, money, money.

Funny. Today’s democrat party liberals don’t seem to mind excessively rich Muslim sheiks.

But let an American white capitalist conservative make money with his oil production, and let the dogs of war be released! But athletes? Rap stars? Hollywood liberals make a billion dollar movie?

That’s a very odd shape for a “natural” diamond. Granted that the larger ones do tend to be kind of irregular, but that one, particularly in the left photo, looks almost columnar. The cynic in me is in the “grown in a lab” camp.

Apples and oranges here. Thee Kohinoor was just a tad larger when it was rough. This thing in Dubai would not be 400 carats if it is cut. From its shape I would guess that perhaps two finished diamonds of a fourth the weight of the uncut piece might be obtained.
