I require some experienced diamond miners. Oh, and a rocket.

We're gonna be richer than De Beers!

A US-British team of astronomers has discovered the first planet with ultra-high concentrations of carbon.

The researchers say their discovery supports the idea there may be carbon-rich, rocky planets whose terrains are made up of diamonds or graphite.

"You might see land masses and mountains made up of diamonds," the lead researcher Dr Nikku Madhusudhan told BBC News.

If only we could get to all those diamond planets! Totally covered in diamonds! Then we would have more diamonds than chicken shit! We would ALL BE FABULOUSLY RICH!

Wouldnt that like, really screw up the market and make it really cheap?...

Obviously every competition would go bankrupt because they invested and bought them at higher prices, but the monopoly of a cheaper way to get diamonds would anyhow get the diamonds to be cheaper and more reasonable to use for more things.

Idk what the technological or scientifical uses for diamonds are other than diamond point tools, but it could promote some research i suppose?

Um, yeah. Exactly. If there were actually some way to bring mountains of diamonds here from another planet, that is.

The diamond market is 80% memes and fairydust anyway....

If you replace your teeth with them it makes you rap better. FACT.

[Cain]

Oh you guys.

It doesn't matter about flooding the market with diamonds.  Just think of the added costs for delivery.

IF I HAD A DIAMOND MOUNTAIN
YOU AND ME SHINING LIKE STARS
MANY CRYSTALLINE WHITE FOUNTAINS
A THOUSAND GHETTO CARS

This is why cain is clever. 

[Whatever]

Aside from the fact that you could market these as "Space Diamonds"

That sounds like it would have been a great prog rock song.

Diamonds are actually relatively abundant, they are only expensive because supply to the market is tightly controlled by De Beers. If we could travel to this planet the price would remain the same as the current market control over diamonds would ensure the supply is closely controlled.

I think David Bowie already did it.

I don't know who this "we" is you're talking about.

If *I* could travel to this planet and had the wherewithal to do so, I would dump (literal) tons of diamonds onto the market at bargain-basement prices, just to see what happened next.

^This.

Actually, I'd get a fall guy to do it for me, I suspect the people at DeBeers are the type to engage in revenge killings.
