Watching the tube this evening, I saw a commercial for a pair of earrings set with black diamonds.
I remember back in the late 80's early 90's when the Diamonds were irradiated to turn them black.
They came out very pretty, as you can see in their advertisement.
Only problem was they were too hot(highly irradiated) to sell,
so they were locked away in a vault.
Seeing them being marketed makes me think of two possibilities...
1: the radiation has cooled enough to allow them to be sold.
2: they're still hot, but the greedy bloodsuckers want a return on their investment
and really don't care if the diamonds are a potential hazard for radiation poisoning.
Caveat Emptor...
