That's nothing... Since Jupiter is composed of mostly "lighter" elements, with Carbon being one of the heaviest and and most abundant, there's been speculation that due to the enormous pressures and temperatures which would be found deep in the planet, Jupiter's core might possibly be a diamond the size of the Earth.
But *reaching* it might be a bit of a problem...

If I find/remember the location I'll let you know. I'd be interested. Most gem peridot in the U.S. comes from Arizona. There are also a few occurrences in New Mexico and Hawaii (it's the only gem found in HI). It would be interesting to find a California peridot.
