Twinkling in the sky is a diamond star of 10 billion-trillion-trillion carats, astronomers have discovered. The cosmic diamond is a chunk of crystallized carbon, 4,000 km across, some 50 light-years from the Earth in the constellation Centaurs. It's the compressed heart of an old star that was once bright like our Sun but has since faded and shrunk. Astronomers have decided to call the star "Lucy" after The Beatles song, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. - BBC News

Are diamonds present in the moon?

Diamond is a form of pure carbon. Sometimes tiny fragments of diamond can form in shocked impact ejecta, so there are probably tiny pieces of diamond scattered about on the lunar surface. My suspicion is that we would not find gemstone quality diamonds the size of those common to certain places here on earth.


Are moon rocks more valuable than diamonds?

The answer depends on comparing two specific items: a moon rock and a diamond. Comparatively, there are many answers to your question. Each has to do with the composition of each item. For example, diamonds are valued by their cut, clarity, colour and carat weight. Moon rocks are valued another way. You can buy a 'moon rock' today for about US$45; you might find a tiny diamond for sale at that price, but more likely, you'd pay more for a diamond than for a moon rock if each item were the 'same size'.


Are African diamonds inexpensive?

Every gem-quality diamond is valued according to its cut, colour, clarity and carat weight, regardless of its continent of origin.
