De Beers is devising a way to claim mineral rights as we speak.

"The gem, estimated at close to 10 billion trillion trillion carats,"Wasn't this about the size of the diamond that Kobe gave his wife?
To: ShadowAce
What a predicament. Even a Shuttle-sized load of this material would be enough to wreck the world price of diamond forever.
(And the mount needed for a 17 quintilion carat ring would be a task in itself) :)

If diamonds ever become affordable women won't want them anymore.

DeBeers is probably already trying to buy the mining rights to that star.
That diamond is almost as large as the one Kobe Bryant had to buy his wife.

Moon-sized diamond found in spaceAn alien preparing to propose to JLo?

"It has been dubbed "Lucy" in reference to the Beatles' song, "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds". Diamond specialists told the research team that if nothing else, the diamond was much too big to wear*.
Now what will they name the large chunk of purple microdot they discover?

However, the white dwarf is not only radiant but also harmonious. It rings like a gigantic gong, undergoing constant pulsationsThe late Robert Forward once wrote a short story called "The Signing Diamond." I wish he was here to see this.
To: ShadowAce
Yeah, but what's the color/clarity? We need to get a gemologist up there right away!

Oh, and has anyone else here ever read "As Big as the Ritz" by Gregory Benford? It's a brilliant satire on socialism.

That would explain all those applications for astronaut NASA has received from the Hassidic Orthodox Jewish Community.

Carbon core in a white dwarf? Somebody's pulling a leg somewhere ... Osmium & Iridium are far denser than carbon.

We figured out that the carbon interior of this white dwarf has solidified to form the galaxy's largest diamondDoes this mean we should check Dean's interior for diamonds?

Arthur C. Clark predicted something like this in one of his novels....the core of Jupiter was a diamond the size of earth, carbon settling out int the core, heat, pressure, yada, yada....
It's been done....
