Now that the volcano is over, the rocks have hardened from the pressure. God! But diamonds really form deep down in the dark! We just don’t know when found what our intrinsic value is and that which we can give out – T. Dench Patel, 9 December 2020, 22:08 We just don’t know how close we are to the surface when we’ll be found, and so giving up, please, giving up is no option.
