Sorry MNI, did you say that your wife bought all these gems in Antwerp (without your approval) for your latest trip to the Berlin Opera?? <VBG> Russians may have sold radioactive gemstones Officials in Antwerp -- the centre of the European diamond trade -- say Russians posing as businessmen may have sold radioactive gemstones on the black market. The officials say the Russians recently tried to sell a consignment of black diamonds -- which are much rarer than ordinary diamonds -- to the official Antwerp diamond exchange for about seventy-four million dollars; but the exchange was suspicious and turned them down. A spokeswoman for the public prosecutor's office said the stones might have been artificially blackened by subjecting them to radioactive Alpha rays, probably in a Russian nuclear power plant. She said it was now feared the Russians had unloaded them on the black market. russiatoday.com
