People are giving lots of technical answers that are true but miss the point, I think. The real point is that diamonds are worth way more than oil or gas. A gallon of gas is about six pounds and retails for about $4. Six pounds of industrial grade diamond dust (like for saw blades) would be worth something like $60,000 based on prices I’m seeing online. And six pounds of jewelry grade diamonds would be worth millions at least.
