Did they say if there is any Sapphs there as well???
It wouldn't be the first time in history something like that happened. Amethyst was once a very valuable gem until the deposits in South America were uncovered. Even amber was up there in value.
Yep, true that.
Though I don't think the price of diamonds will be threatened by this discovery any time soon - mining at 200km deep in temperatures probably between 800 - 900 celsius could prove just a too challenging for the foreseeable future
