That sounds like something out of science fiction. An entire planet that might be one large diamond? Yeah, I could see that in a Star Trek episode or such. I wonder what it looks like up close. Maybe it's got a lot of crystals jutting up all over, kind of like those arctic bits in the Superman movies.
