Of course, DeBeers is, at the moment, camped out fairly close to where I sit, lol, seeing as they've just found some 'gemstone quality' diamonds near where I live, after some digging around, pardon the pun. It should be interesting to see what happens to the area if it pans out, at any rate.

According to the sources I've read and my old geology prof, who was a very cool guy, a good sapphire is much rarer than even the rarest diamond. I always preferred the colour anyway.:)
