DeBeers I wouldn't shed big tears if DeBeers were sanctioned in the United States. I never really had a fascination with diamonds. I think that is important too, since if the diamond market went bust it would only affect the price of diamonds, even industrial uses are covered via synthetic and Silicon Carbide diamonds. In it's own way it's like beany babies (only harder). It's value is in the marketing, so in this case if the marketing is destroyed the product is also for the most part destroyed. TP
