There are various gems that I like. Lapis lazuli and obsidian are in the top of my list. They are sure to attract me in gems shows. I like to work with them. I often end buying them. I think I have bought more obsidian than lapis. I must admit that they are pretty equal in my heart anyway.
Earlier I found an article (http://www.space.com/26335-coldest-white-dwarf-star-diamond.html?cmpid=514648. Don't know if it is still active). It is about a white dwarf that is very cold. It's carbon content had turned into a diamond. Hard to believe it can happen in space. There must have a lot of pressure there. It isn't mentioned in the short article. This is one of the time I wished the article can be longer, with more information. I haven't seen much on gems from space. It would have been great to talk about it. I would like to know if it is a common occurrence. I also want to know if there is a lot of various gems out there. It would be also great to be able to mine those out of this world gems. I think it would be a good sales pitch: "Buy a space gem!"
Thinking of it, it would be a good source for a space story. It would be good to read about a story with gems mining as a background. Or it could be a motive to get out in space. It could help finance the cost of space travel. I think I am getting an idea on that. Nothing firm but I am starting thinking. It could be the source for a great idea for science fiction. I don't have a story in mind right now. I think it is more a starting point. I will have to let it mature a bit.
