According to teevee, Sophie said the diamonds are held in a
vault, at the bank the company uses to transact their day to
day business.

There are some top notch diamond experts who would be able
to study the stones and determine if they were related by the
micro-inclusions in the stones. This process could take a
few months and cost upwards of ten thousand dollars, perhaps
the company can not justify spending those funds!

Also, the diamonds would all have similar hardness patterns
that could be tested by cutting. It will be interesting to
see if the company sends the stones to one cutter or three!

However, the most interesting thing is, if the diamonds are
so good, why not publish some pictures? That would drive the
stock up higher than even a positive news release. Every other company I have seen in the last decade has done this with the
sole exception of you know who. I suppose they are shy and non
promotional types and would be embarrassed to show off their
success. aj
