It's very useful in electronics.
Funnily enough, aluminium used to be more expensive than gold once upon a time, because it was terribly hard to purify from ore. Now it's what tin-foil hats are made of. Conspiracy!!

Mmm....more than gold, I don't get why diamonds are valued so highly (for jewelry, anyway- they are very useful for some other stuff). I actually find colored gems much prettier.

Almost the only reason diamonds are so expensive is because it's basically one family that has an utter chokehold on the market and they allow only so much diamond to be put up every year.

well, diamonds are forever and they do have a very lovely luster

a very pure diamond will sparkle like you wouldn't believe *-* though i'm not much fan of wearing jewelry in general, i do appreciate the art...diamonds are precious because of their lasting qualities (besides being beautiful, since most gems have that) for being one of the hardest substances (which means it's least likely to chip or crack)

I want to coat the windows on my car with industrial diamond, windshield especially.
But it is just graphite or coal, slightly rearranged ;)

Not industrial diamond. There's a reason they don't make jewelry out of synthetic diamond.
