What I don't understand, and perhaps I'm missing something here, is that diamonds aren't even really that rare as to justify the price.  There are much more rare rocks out there which are basically lining fish tanks world-wide.

you are correct sir! there's this whole industry set up to bilk the public into thinking diamonds are the bees knees.this is just to jack the price up.
i personally find them boring.
once in a while you see an interesting diamond. Like the Hope diamond. it's got a slight blue tinge to it. it's nice, but i would never wear it. way too gaudy! it's only useful as a sculpture.

other stones are much more beautiful! my mother loves emeralds.
