Somebody once told me that diamonds are buried deep down the ground, surrounded by dirt, soil and coal but guess what? The deeper you mine, the more valuable the diamond. I was once told that it takes a fine jeweller to appreciate its true value due to the difficulty of excavating and its rarity. Apparently this person meant to say that you have to work hard to acquire good things in life because they are not laid out on the surface where you can grab them. He who seeks for a diamond must grapple in mud because they are not found between polished stones.
To find a diamond you need to determine the site, explore the possibilities of existence, start the excavation process and clean the dirt stuck to it, cut to refine the shape and finally polish and bring it to its true beauty hat will astonish people. All this for a diamond, but in the end it is worthwhile. It’s just amazing how Mother Nature transforms plain black coal into the crystal clear gem that is the diamond.
