Ashes to Ashes ...Dust to Diamonds
...This might be old news to some, but did you know that you can get the remains of your loved ones turned into a diamond?! The point is a matter of simple physics. After cremation, you have a decent amount of ash left over, which is carbon-rich. All you need is to extract that carbon, and turn it into diamondÂ… a matter of changing the crystal structure from one form into another under high temperature and pressure.
There is a company (or companies, e.g Life Gem) that does this for you, and sends you a nice piece of jewelry made out of your dearly departed. There are slight variations in colour of the finished product…. depending upon the non-carbon impurities” (if you pardon the term) associated with the source material. So it is very personalised indeed.
Is this the way ...to last for ever.
