A great and well written overview of a fascinating subject including in one place information I could not find collected together elsewhere. Particularly strong on physical properties including the popular gem cuts. History, some commercial issues, trivia such as famous cutters and stones. In my opinion this featured article candidate, for once, truly shows off Wikipedia at its best. Paul Beardsell 21:18, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Oppose - This article is off to a good start, but it has some formatting issues to deal with first.
- In some sections, the text is written is a format that suggests it had been written one sentence at a time (the Cut section in particular).
- There are tons of external links, but no real references.
- I would like to see a mention of so-called "blood diamonds".
