Why would people want a conflict free diamond?

[PoS]

DeBeers has kept the price of diamonds artificially high- they have been doing this for decades.

lol government doesn't make diamond companies hoard diamonds in gigantic vaults to increase their value arbitrarily. just stop, please.

Look up articles of collusion between African countries and De Beers prior to 2007. Also read up with General Electric and industrial diamond production.

i'll assume it's bullshit now and save my time.

Thanks for playing. I win.

[The Comrade]

win what? nothing you said had anything to do with international diamond markets. ergo i'm not looking up pointless bullshit to make your argument for you.

I don't think diamonds look bad, I imagine it would be tight as hell to have just a little diamond earing like Chris Tucker at the end of Money Talks. Um, as for killing people though and wanting their blood represented by a shiny crystal or whatever, I'm imagining you haven't been or seen an actual war lord. I know movies make it look cool and all, but rather than getting you the diamond, I'd foot the bill for all expenses paid therapy. Too many crazy people in this world, less bling, more therapy and soft colored rooms.

All seriousness aside, having some of the finest and a shiny rock you'd probably feel COOL.
