diamond

n. Relatively common mineral, consisting of carbon, which is similar in appearance to zircon or cut glass. Used by the South African based De Beers company as a form of emotional blackmail through clever, original, and socially planted marketing techniques. It is asserted by the De Beers company that a man who is unwilling to waste a huge amount of money for a worthless piece of carbon must not really love his future wife very much.

blood diamonds

Aslo 'Conflict gemstones': the illegal diamond trade in Africa by rebel fighters who purchase their weapons by selling these 'blood diamonds' to kill their own people.

New, 'conflict-free' diamond bourses are established now to make sure no diamonds are going to be sold for guns, thanks to something called the 'Kimberley Process' (named after the 2000 meeting of major diamond-producing countries in Kimberley, South Africa), that issue KPCS (Kimberley Process Certification Scheme) certificates and offer other 'ethical alternatives' for those who lost their jobs as a result.

Blood diamonds are common in countries like Angola, Ivory Coast, Sierra Leone, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Liberia. Other conflict gemstones are emeralds alternatively known as 'blood emeralds' in Colombia.
