Just saw a post on X that showed that the ashes of human bodies could be turned into diamonds. I didn't believe it, ran a search and apparently it IS a thing. 😶
As the X post points out, could this in fact be "where the bodies are"? 🤔

And the 100% Beef (tm) patties at McDonalds
I wonder who I'm wearing
They've been doing this commercially at least since 2001. GE first made diamonds from carbon in the early 1950's. Any carbon will work. These companies only use less than 10 grams of ashes and reduce them down to the pure carbon. Then they further purify the carbon into carbon graphite powder. After that they have to use a lot of pressure, heat and a "diamond seed" to create the diamond. They can also color them by adding different elements during the process.
Ashes from cremation, on the other hand, are essentially 100% carbon, so they're great for creating diamonds. For years I've been waiting for someone to make that into a business
Return the diamonds!
Gives the term "blood diamonds" a whole new meaning
It most certainly does.
“It is wrong to wear diamonds before luncheon, except on one’s marriage rings. It is always a comfort to know that so many things one can’t afford to do anyway are vulgar.” ― Judith Martin, Miss Manners' Guide to Excruciatingly Correct Behavior
A bit of a hide-the-bodies expose could put a dent in DeBeers.
Diamonds are super common bullshit either way. Probably the most controlled market in the world other than central banks. China has mega factories where they can make thousands if not millions and also there is little regulation to verify real vs man made diamonds and no one really cares.
Of all the stones, they're the least pretty ( personal opinion ). The value is in their hardness. I appreciate them when I'm using a blade that has them for cutting through other materials, but as a gemstone, meh. Other stones have more character and beauty.
Yeah also use in electronics from what I understand.
Diamonds are a corpses best friend??? 😯
just blew out the back of my skull with my palm. username checks out
Years ago, I worked at a funeral home and yes that was a service that could be purchased.
I'd seriously never heard of it. Have mixed thoughts on it.
First is, I guess it's no different from other methods of immortalizing a dead [relative/pet] and may help them deal with the death by keeping their remains in something beautiful. Second is, holy crap, what better way to hide remains after nefarious deeds, especially at the level these globalist are operating, which would have a resale value. They could wear them in plain sight as souvenirs and no one would be the wiser. I'm sure all DNA wiped out by the process.
People were dying to get one I bet.
This was discussed on a few episodes of the Kardashians back in 2018. https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/watch-kris-jenner-learns-she-can-get-cremated-into-jewelry/
I can happily say I have never watched that waste of time and brain cells.
I'm embarrassed to say I have, lol.
