Erik Oostra Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Here's the follow-up of the BBC story on the South African 'diamond' rush.. unlike the many fools who got suckered in by historical gold rushes, I do feel sorry for these folk.. As a way out of poverty the stakes would have been very high.. now, the future has been dashed.. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-57548406 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valens Legacy Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Thanks for posting the outcome for us to read more on it, I have been waiting for it since you first posted. I bet those people who were saying what they were going to buy with what they found will have to settle for some nice pretty rocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please tell me that you didn't have one of those made into a ring for your girlfriend/wife. If you did she will make you sleep outside for the rest of your life.

afreakofnature Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Oh that would be called a hillbilly diamond. I learned about those in North Carolina LOL. We actually had one made up. They pass off really easily and since quartz has a hardness of 7 it scratches glass to “fool” others LOL. Best part is they are way cheaper so if you scratch it up you can replace many times over before you ever reach the price of a diamond 🤣🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
