The price of diamonds just took a precipitous drop.

A diamond is a piece of crap stone in the first place. It’s uniqueness is that it comes from 1 area of the planet and is controlled by one family. “Contrived scarcity”

liquid hydrogen, which can only exist under tremendous pressuresNot so.
To: Red Badger
The pressure would force diamond to be many times denser than those on earth, and once exposed to normal pressures would probably explode. So not only forever beyond our reach, but completely useless. Nice to imagine, though.
To: Red Badger
That’s going to need quite a large setting.

I think Isaac Asimov speculated a diamond core in a book of his from either the late 50s or 1960s.

So where does all this carbon come from?
Why would it all meet at Jupiter's center?

Maybe dilithium crystals?

I’ve read that Saturn’s moon Titan has more oil and gas thousands of times more than all of the reserves on Earth combined.

A Diamond the Size of EarthThat's gonna take one hell of a setting to look right! No loupe necessary.

Don’t tell De Beers. They’ll try to horde it.

It would make a good engagement ring. Don’t even need to take delivery. Just a picture and a certificate of authenticity should suffice.
To: Red Badger
There are probably millions of tonnes of diamonds in Earths crust.
Like the one in Jupiter, it's only the small matter of accessibility.
It's also true that the value is hyped.

I thought it rolled behind the couch. How did it get to Jupiter? The cats, probably.

-—It has been postulated that the two outer liquid giants of our solar system, Uranus and Neptune, are hiding, beneath their dense atmosphere, oceans of liquid diamond...-—
I thought diamond was either a solid or, when heated to a high enough temperature, goes straight to a gaseous state.
Guess not.

Too much phantasy physics and completely skipping the known fusion chain of large celestial bodies.
