This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

My friend works with lab grown crystals and there re ones like lutetium aluminium garnet doped with cerium (LuAG:Ce) and similar which look awesome
I just looked them up, they're almost like kryptonite, or TV Uranium. That's so cool
I wonder if there's anyone interested creating lab diamonds that have imperfections that essentially become indistinguishable from the mined ones. There wouldn't be any money in it, but they could theoretically crash the blood diamond market.
Its already happened, its why big diamond cartels etch symbols into diamonds. They literally can't tell the difference anymore.
Its not super common for them to do that as its at least unethical and illegal in some places. Plus unless your literally trying to counterfeit, why would you want a flawed diamond?
