Why are diamonds wrapped in paper?
Loose stones are stored, categorized and secured in white parcel paper, sometimes with a waxed and non-waxed side. The paper is folded with the non-waxed side out, using folds so that the loose stones don't fall out of the folded paper 'envelopes'. The non-waxed side also affords a surface upon which to describe or code the diamond enclosed in the wrapper for inventory purposes.

Why does water bead up on a waxed car but gasoline does not?
Most waxes are petroleum based, just like gasoline. Therefore, they have similar properties and mix, whereas water has significantly different properties, causing it to 'bead up' and form droplets on the surface.

Why do beads of water often form on a slippery surface such as a freshly waxed car?
A waxed car is not hydrophilic, it is not wetted with water. A drop of water falling on such a surface does not speak out wetting the surface. Instead the surface tension of the water drop pulls it into a spherical shape that sits on top of the surface until it either slides off or evaporates.

Why does water bead up on freshly waxed car?
Wax is hydrophobic, meaning it repels water. Of course, this repulsion is not strong enough to make the water hover a millimeter above the surface, but it is strong enough to force the water to act in this way, rather than sit there in a thin sheet. The "surface tension" of the water itself also plays a role.
