    We can literally make perfect diamonds in a lab, there is literally no reason we are still mining them

      It gets worse than that.

      Back before lab-made perfect diamonds were a thing, the DeBeers cartel marketed that they had the highest quality diamonds out there, with the fewest imperfections.

      Now they market that the imperfections are what gives it character, and you should avoid the actual perfect diamonds and instead get their (blood) diamonds.
