Microscopic diamond ice burgs floating in a tiny sea of liquid diamond.

Hence the term "ice" when referring to diamonds.

Honey, I would get you a diamond but do you realize how plentiful they are?

Other groups, notably scientists from Sandia National Laboratories, successfully melted diamond years ago, but they were unable to measure the pressure and temperature at which the diamond melted.

Huh? "Scientist" were unable to give us precise temps and pressures? How is this possible?

I bet they also believe in global warming.

One little problem with all this:

Neptune and Uranium are cold. So cold, ammonia and probably even methane form ices.

Non Christians sometimes ridicule the imagery of the Bible ... streets of gold, jasper walls, etc ... but a planet of liquid diamond(s) ?

Fire up the NASA budget.

DeBeers will be building a Death Star to take care of this problem.
