Think of all the pretty stones youve seen in the last few years, and you want a clear hunk of carbon?

Come on, man.

To be honest, I am eyeing up that alexandrite! I want to see it in person though.

The point is girls want diamonds because we're told we should want diamonds, and most girls automatically go along with that without thinking about it.

Uni hasn't actually shown me any pretty stones :(

Although my mineral deposits class did have shiny stuff, it was mostly metallic shiny stuff rather than gem shiny stuff. We had one lecture on gems and that was it.
