20 Jun 08 - 10:25 AM (#2370702) Subject: RE: BS: We Are All Diamonds in the Rough From: lady penelope This is a fairly old idea, although the carbon reclaimation rates seemed to have been vastly improved since the last time I looked at this. Mostly I'm amazed people spend the money on it.... |

20 Jun 08 - 11:19 AM (#2370755) Subject: RE: BS: We Are All Diamonds in the Rough From: katlaughing Do they use the whole body? All I could find was "DNA from a lock of hair" and that it was now available for those who want to be cremated or buried. I don't think they use the whole body and those prices are really steep for manufactured diamonds, imo! |

20 Jun 08 - 11:38 AM (#2370783) Subject: RE: BS: We Are All Diamonds in the Rough From: Houston_Diamond That's what my gf said she wants to do with me. They can only use the carbon present in the ashes after cremation or (if not cremated)in a load of hair. Sound like a nice idea though despite being expensive. |

Speaking of Bob, Bobert (name Bert and suffix -bert on a name means "bright and shining", you know, kinda like a diamond), Bobert! It ain't the stuff so much that gives it worth. It's how it's arranged! A Barbecue biscuit (brickette) or a graphite pencil has a lot more carbon than your average diamond. It's just not put together the same way. |

22 Jun 08 - 10:32 AM (#2371875) Subject: RE: BS: We Are All Diamonds in the Rough From: Houston_Diamond Liz, you can get them made as a blue, white, red or yellow diamond, the blue one looks a bit like a sapphire except stronger. Thinking about it... if your partner was really lazy in life you could get them set as a glass cutter or the tip of a drill in their after life and then at least they'd be doing work for once ;) Houston |

23 Jun 08 - 05:25 AM (#2372346) Subject: RE: BS: We Are All Diamonds in the Rough From: mouldy Speaking as one whose late spouse suggested a piece of coal for an engagement ring.... said it was all carbon anyway.... I haven't got all his ashes now, but I find the thought of his big toe trying to catch up from the bit of Indian Ocean a small amount got put in earlier this year quite amusing. Not to mention the various other places he has been left. (My son Alex, in New Zealand would love to get him into the upper atmosphere by lobbing some into an active volcano - well he did say he never wanted to stop travelling). As it happens, a small amount of him went into the sea on the north side of the Cook Strait last month. here is plenty more left there, so he may end up exploring the Pacific. Back to the point - anyone who has met me knows my fondness for the sparkly things in life. As it happens, when my husband (who couldn't see the point of getting excited about minerals stuck to bits of metal - bloody mining engineers) got himself blown up in a coal mine, I went and paid off on the layby I had at a local jewellers for some briolette cut diamond earrings - and wore them to his funeral. I had been asking him for years that he buy me diamond earrings. It would be some sort of irony if I turned him into jewellery. The trouble is, there wouldn't be enough of him to make a decent stone now, so I guess we will just have to carry on and keep him travelling - which we think is what he would like! ;-) Andrea |
