Violetta - yes security is an issue with bringing diamonds to the show in public. Rupert had handfuls of them at the PDAC worth they say $85,000 and a tough looking armed guard who didn't move more than 2 feet from those diamonds.

Ashtons photos were very good, and from the photos I think we have good quality gems, clear and white. What surprised me was that Ashton show in the photos several diamonds of at least the 3-4mm size range with the largest 5mm. These diamonds were reported in carat counts but not in size. So I thing we could safely surmise that Ashton has promising gem quality diamonds of commercial size.
