    Golly, that will be amazingly liquid, and also really hard to counterfeit!

    Considering how the price of diamonds is controlled by a non-governmental group and the markup is phenomenal, I would say this will be a narrow market, subject to as much or more manipulation and will never be as liquid as gold and silver. Cheers, RickO

    Agree, but diamond investors and those crossing borders will probably love the added features.

    Great idea. Now if only they can store them for me so I don't have to take physical possession.

    I guess the diamond marketeers are having a hard time moving excess inventory?

    Not for me. You'd have to crack them out just to have them graded and certified. :)
