• Precies hoe lang duurt het om diamant in grafiet te veranderen? - February 26th, 2009
• Months back a couple of very close friends of mine lost everything they owned when their house burnt to the ground. All the remains have piled in the basement. Since they have had to move and don’t have the time, they asked me to clean it up. I’ve cleared out almost all the big metal. Mainly what is left is a basement that has ashes about two feet deep and much broken and melted glass. They have offered me a reward if I can find a diamond that was in there, almost 3/4 carat. I have a good idea of approximately what area it is probably in. But how can I efficiently sift through all that ash and broken and melted glass to find it? I was told that diamonds show up well under a blacklight, but they couldn’t even tell me what color they appear under a blacklight. And a lot of that glass shows up well too. Is there any way I can do this task with some sort of ease? I want to find it for them, but I don’t have a year to sift through ash and the weather’s gettin cold and it will snow soon. - January 26th, 2009
