Some good quality journalism and super informative about how the whole diamond operation.

Did you know diamonds are weighed in carats because the ancient Carob seed is unusually consistent at 1/2000 of a gram? I didn't. Lots of interesting and informative nuggets like that. Like how an Israeli cartel tried to usurp De Beers and how it panned out. Worth a read.

Agreed. I wasn't sure about sharing it for the obvious reasons, but it's just a good piece of journalism in it's own right, and meets the criteria for 'interesting' in my view.
