she doesn't WANT diamonds!

and yes, meteorites are often as expensive as diamonds! She saw the one
come down in Georgia about 20 years ago and found a 0.5g sliver for $125.

The ones she REALLY wants are the Mars and Moon origin meteorites. Although
I'm sure a bit of asteroid or comet gravel would also make her happy.

She's looking at pulling strings to get access to the prior studied
Apollo-missions moon rocks for grad student geologists to use.

Some people have only a glass case to show off their family china. We have
one that shows off rocks :-D

As long as the general population is passive, apathetic, diverted to
consumerism or hatred of the vulnerable, then the powerful can do as they
please, and those who survive will be left to contemplate the outcome.
