Talk:Diamond
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
Isn't the reason that diamonds are so valuable in the real world because of some monopolies and side-of-mouth claims that they are rare? It seems odd to me that it would also be so in the star-wars universe, but O.K.
- It's more complicated than that in real life. While De Beers does qualify as a cartel, the fact of the matter is that mining or synthesizing diamonds is very difficult and costly. Although, they are able to synthesize diamonds in Star Wars, such as in the Corellian Sanctuary. One would think that such technology would lower prices.-LtNOWIS 01:35, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
