Yes, diamonds have been found in Mississippi, notably in the area around the town of Tishomingo, where small diamonds were discovered in the early 20th century. However, gold has not been found in significant quantities in Mississippi; while there are some reports of gold panning and minor discoveries, the state is not known for gold mining. Overall, diamonds are much more notable in Mississippi's geological history compared to gold.
I heard on NPR last year that the total amount of all the gold ever mined would fill two Olympic swimming pools. But I bet this answer will be much harder to find for diamonds. Diamonds are most likely not as rare as they are purported to be. They are used industrially on a much wider scale than industrial uses of gold.
The largest nugget of gold ever found was the Welcome Stranger nugget, discovered in Australia in 1869, weighing approximately 2316 troy ounces (72 kg).
The value of gold and diamonds can vary based on factors such as demand, rarity, and market conditions. Generally, gold is priced based on weight, purity, and market dynamics, while diamonds are valued based on their carat weight, cut, clarity, and color. In certain cases, diamonds can be more valuable than gold due to their scarcity and desirability for jewelry.
Gold is heavier than diamond. Diamonds have a specific gravity of 3.51. Gold has a specific gravity of 19.32.
Sure. In the past people would not see diamonds set in silver or turquoise in gold. Now you see both, though not very common. Turquoise has been found in silver in the South West, thus associated with silver. Sterling Silver is a bit soft for setting diamonds, thus the setting either has to have some gold in it, or copper or be very heavy ( the prongs) of something to make up for the softness of the sterling. Thus the exact same style that you see done in gold could not be done in sterling . That does not exclude the combination though
You have your scenario a little mixed up. The British found out about the gold and diamonds long before apartheid ever existed. The discovery of gold and diamonds was in the late 1800's, while 'Apartheid' as a policy started in 1948.
