"I don't imagine that a picture of a very shiny object is what we're looking at here." Link to comment
Robert F. Smith Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 DC 130:9 This earth, in its sanctified and immortal state, will be made like unto crystal and will be a Urim and Thummim to the inhabitants who dwell thereon, whereby all things pertaining to an inferior kingdom, or all kingdoms of a lower order, will be manifest to those who dwell on it; and this earth will be Christ’s.Astronomers discover planet made of diamond HereYou might also want to add these observations from Malvin A. Ruderman, “Solid Stars,” Scientific American , 224/2 (February, 1971), 24-31, Twinkle, twinkle, little star How I wonder what you are, Up above the world so high, Like a diamond in the sky."Children have long been charmed by the notion that a star is a twinkling jewel embedded in the black night sky. Their parents may smile indulgently, having been taught that stars are really spheres of incandescent gas. During the past decade, however, it has become apparent that in some cases the child's picture is closer to the truth: the core of certain dense stars and the outer layer of still denser ones are now believed to be solid matter. Some stars probably consist mainly of carbon in exotic crystalline form. A parent would be a spoilsport indeed if he refused to regard such an object as a twinkling celestial diamond."

Calm Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 There was some sci fi story that had a massive diamond mountain on one of the satellites of one of the planets of this solar system. Now I'm going to stay up all night trying to remember enough of the story to do a search for the title and author.Well that was easy, apparently diamond mountains aren't all that common as a plot twist:http://tal.forum2.org/3001 Link to comment
