Sapphire doesn’t have diamond’s weak cleavage planes, which means it doesn’t share the same directional vulnerability to impact. But corundum has its own little secret: parting. Corundum has no true cleavage, but natural sapphires can contain repeated twin lamellae, which are structural boundaries in the crystal often produced by deformation after growth. In heavily twinned* material, those planes can become directions of weakness, allowing the stone to break along surprisingly clean, flat surfaces that look a lot like cleavage. Hence the other name for it: false cleavage. Significant parting isn’t something you expect from every clean gem sapphire, but it’s an interesting phenomenon * twinning is when a crystal contains multiple regions whose atomic structures are arranged in precise, symmetrical but different orientations. Imagine the crystallographic pattern basically flipping at certain points

As I mentioned in the video, the resale market for diamonds is incredibly harsh for the consumer. The diamond industry trades stones based on wholesale pricing grids, like the Rapaport Diamond Report, which are completely divorced from the inflated retail prices you see in shop windows. When you try to sell a diamond back to the trade, you aren't just losing the retail markup, you are competing against a highly efficient global supply chain where jewellers can buy exactly what they need on demand. Furthermore, the explosion of lab-grown diamonds has completely shattered the illusion of scarcity. Lab-grown stones are chemically, physically, and optically identical to natural ones, but they can be manufactured endlessly. You should buy a diamond because you love how it handles light and because its physical toughness means it will survive decades of daily wear on your hand, not because you think you can cash it in later.

Super Deep Diamonds

What If You Smashed This Famous Diamond?

 

If you took some of the biggest and most famous diamonds and smashed them open, you’d find evidence that they came from WAY deeper than you think… And they seem to be made in a fundamentally different way…for more on that, subscribe!

Superdeep diamonds are rare gemstones that form between 300 and 800 kilometers below the Earth's surface. [1]

Origin and Depth

• Extreme Depth: Most normal diamonds form in the base of continents at depths of 150 to 200 km. Superdeep diamonds (also called sublithospheric diamonds) come from the upper mantle transition zone or the lower mantle.

• Plate Tectonics: They trap tiny pieces of ancient oceanic crust and minerals that were pushed deep into the Earth by subduction.

• Journey to the Top: Violent volcanic eruptions of kimberlite magma carry these diamonds up to the Earth's surface. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Scientific Value

• Time Capsules: Because diamonds are very hard and chemically stable, they protect the tiny mineral samples trapped inside them from damage. [1]

• Earth's Interior: Scientists study these trapped minerals to learn about deep water, carbon recycling, and the hidden layers of our planet. [1, 2, 3]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Superdeep diamonds (also known as sublithospheric diamonds) are extraordinary geological specimens that form at extreme depths of approximately 300 to 800 kilometers (185 to 500 miles) below the Earth's surface. While the vast majority of mined gemstones originate in the continental lithosphere at relatively shallow depths of 150 to 200 kilometers, superdeep diamonds originate from the mantle's transition zone and lower mantle. These rare stones act as deep-mantle probes and "time capsules," providing scientists with direct physical samples from depths that humans cannot otherwise reach. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

 

 

Superdeep diamonds are indeed worth significantly more than standard natural diamonds. While ordinary diamonds form at depths of about 150 to 250 kilometers, superdeep diamonds originate between 300 and 800 kilometers down in the Earth's mantle. They make up only 1% to 2% of all mined diamonds, making them exceptionally rare. [1, 2, 3, 4]

Because of the extreme pressure and unique geological environment in which they grow, their market behavior and pricing structures differ drastically from traditional commercial stones. [1]

Why Superdeep Diamonds Command Higher Value

• Home to History's Most Expensive Gems: Paradoxically, the most legendary, highly valued, and physically largest diamonds ever found—including the 3,106-carat Cullinan Diamond and the Hope Diamond—are geologically classified as superdeep diamonds. [1, 2]
• Extreme Chemical Purity: Standard diamonds pick up nitrogen as they form, which can give them a yellow tint. Superdeep diamonds grow below these nitrogen-heavy layers, crystallizing from pockets of liquid iron and nickel. This gives them exceptional structural clarity and a colorless, "Type IIa" purity that commands extreme premiums. [1]
• Exponential Pricing Scale: According to the Rapaport Diamond Report, superdeep diamonds form a unique luxury market segment. Because they grow slowly without interruption, they produce massive crystals where per-carat prices defy traditional price lists and scale exponentially. For instance, the 812-carat superdeep Constellation diamond sold in its rough form for a record-breaking $63.1 million. [1]
• Scientific Premium: Because human technology can only drill a few miles into the crust, these stones serve as invaluable "time capsules" or deep-mantle probes. They trap ultra-rare high-pressure minerals (like tuite) inside their inclusions, giving them immense added value to institutions and elite collectors. [1]

Non-Diamond Gemstones That Cost More Than Regular Diamonds

If you are evaluating rarity across the wider gemstone market, several other distinct mineral families easily outprice standard commercial diamonds per carat: [1, 2]

Gemstone	Price Per Carat (High Quality)	Why It Outprices Standard Diamonds
Painite	$50,000 – $60,000	Once recognized as the rarest mineral on Earth. Only a limited number of high-quality crystals exist globally.
Musgravite	$35,000+	An incredibly elusive silicate mineral; only a few hundred carats have ever been documented.
Imperial Jadeite	$20,000 – $3 Million	Celebrated for its deep cultural significance and vivid green translucency; top-tier cuts frequently shatter auction records.
Red Beryl	$10,000+	Sourced almost exclusively from Utah's Wah Wah Mountains. It is roughly 1,000 times rarer than natural diamonds.

"Buried 100 Feet Beneath Peru, Even Scientists Cannot Explain This" - Timothy Alberino

 

Timothy Alberino examined the tridactyl mummies buried beneath Peru, three-fingered bodies held by the University of Ica that returned a result no one expected. Dr. Roger Zuniga told Alberino the DNA reads 70 percent non-human, and that human beings share more genetic code with a papaya than with these beings. One of the larger specimens, Maria, has an elongated skull, oversized eye sockets, no ears, and a metallic implant that the surrounding bone grew over, meaning it was placed while the creature was still alive.

This is the same investigation that runs straight through the Shinkana, the legendary labyrinth beneath Cusco that the Quechua call the place where one gets lost. Alberino lays out how explorer Anselm Pi Rambla was shown a sealed tunnel beneath the Coricancha by a prior who panicked and threw him out, how a boy once crawled out of that crypt half-mad clutching a golden corncob from a hidden treasure hoard, and how the megalithic walls of Saksaywaman were never built by the Inca. The deeper question is who did build them, and why the legends insist the answer is giants.

From the elongated Paracas skulls and their non-American DNA haplogroups to the two massive tunnels his team detected 100 feet beneath the Chongos pyramid, Alberino connects the buried bodies, the lost civilization of builders, and the possibility that this non-human species is not extinct but still living somewhere underground. These are the same three-fingered bodies that were unveiled before the Mexican Congress, and the scientific data is only making them harder to dismiss.
