Why do we place such high value to things such as gold and diamonds? Wouldn’t it make sense to put that value on things that are more “useful”?

Minerals do not inherently contain more value than any other objects. In economics it’s more a combination of capital or in other words resources and How well you use them. If you want to take something apart both a screwdriver and a hammer can serve the same purpose but if time is limited then the hammer is the better resource but if maintaining the parts is a high priority then the screwdriver has more value.
