The paper reported today the discovery of a 4.21–carat diamond at the Crater of Diamonds in Arkansas.  This article contains nothing about energy, but as a graduate geologist from the University of Arkansas I know quite a lot about the geology of that lovely state.  I also wrote an as yet unpublished novel titled A Gathering of Diamonds, a tale based loosely on my secret, and as yet undiscovered, diamond plug in Arkansas.  Here is a short excerpt:

"Maybe you can tell me something about this."

Reaching into the pocket of my jacket, I removed a small leather pouch. Professor Fridel's mouth dropped open when its sparkling contents rolled across the desk toward him.

When he regained his senses, he said, "Is this a diamond?"
