Thanks for that one. No one has ever given one to me before and
there's nothing wrong in Chauvinism. I never said I am not open to
hearing what's there in other part of the world.

I am from India and I have not heard of magical stories associated
with diamonds other than the ones from India, which makes it unique
and special. There's nothing biased here about it. I did quote what
I've so far gathered from my surroundings. I have come here to gather
more information. Here in India diamonds are worn mostly to ward off
evil effects of planets only upon consultation of an expert
astrologer.
