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.

Get back to me when it starts raining sapphires.

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.
