This isn't what you think.

Quote:Uranus is probably full of giant diamonds

Quote:When subjected to the pressures (and temperatures) of life on other planets, even familiar substances can get pretty alien. Case in point: the diamond rains of the ice giants. Scientists have long thought that massive planets like Neptune and Uranus—which contain relatively tiny rocky cores covered with a mantle of slurried water, ammonia, and methane ices and surrounded by a thick atmosphere—are subject to rain made of literal diamonds. Now researchers have synthesized the process in a lab, showing how such conditions might occur.

What's a "literal" diamond?

Get back to me when it starts raining sapphires.

A kiss on the hand may be quite continental, but tactical thermonuclear weaponry is a girl's best friend.

It's that gem in the crowd, that when you say, "Shit!", squats and groans.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

In Clarke's book 2010, he had a mountain sized diamond on Europa, liberated when Jupiter imploded and turned on.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
