Crikey, Ed. Manmade = artificial in most people's books. Damned literalists. I swear...

I think it was the fat edge angle thing, you had to use a lot of pressure to get it started under the skin. The metal blade things from Wallys for $0.98 pare the skin right off.

Zirconium oxide (white) vs. zirconium carbide (which turns black when fired) is the key to our mystery.

P.S: Guess what showed up in today's mail? Ayup, I got hit by a ricochet. Danke y gracias, Monsieur.

I'm with Ed on this. OK on the " Manmade = artificial" BUT it's not "diamond" it can be "Manmade or artificial JEMS". (paste) ...lew...

The scary part is that some guy other than the author autographed it. I wonder what the going rate is for your sig, Ed. I'll be rich!

Well, the rope would sure have helped you FIND it TWICE in the past three months, wouldn't it?

That's GEMS not JEMS and Cubic Zirconia is anything BUT a diamond: while its Index of Refraction is higher than crystaline carbon, CZ is much softer and can be scratched easily by steel.
