Black Diamond

Black Diamond
                       
In olden times we used coal as a heating fuel to keep
us all warm, it also powered ships and steam engines
and industry, it was very cheap and everyone used it
The people were all  unaware that this same coal was
transformed into something extremely valuable and
was worth a fortune, I refer to the diamond found
inbedded  inside rock walls and large caverns, the 
coal there was put under tremendous pressure for 
thousands of years to become the diamond, the 
hardest mineral ever found and whoever owned
them would be wealthy beyond belief, the diamonds
when refined would become glittering jewellery,
owned by the rich and admired by the poor,there
are regular diamond expose's where there are so 
many exhibits of these beautiful diamond works of art.
