Listen to and read the text Diamonds are Forever.

'Diamonds,' sang Marilyn Monroe in the film Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, 'are a girl's best friend.' You might not agree, hut we can be sure of this: diamonds are not only the hardest substance in the world, they are also the most expensive. A single diamond cost $16.5 million when it was sold in Geneva in 1995!

Diamonds are found in a number of countries including Australia, South Africa and Brazil. In fact, there are two types of diamond; colourless diamonds (about 25% of those found) are the hardest and are often made into jewels. Black diamonds - the remaining 75% - are usually used by industry. Industrial diamonds are also produced artificially.

The latgest diamond in history is the Cullinan diamond. It weighed 620g and was mined in South Africa in 1905. It was bought by the Transvaal government for £150,000, and then it was presented to the King of England, Edward VII. The diamond was cut into smaller jewels, which are now part of the British Crown Jewels, which belong to the Queen of England and are kept in the Tower of London.

Diamonds are also used for decoration. Between 1885 and 1917, the Russian jew­eller Peter Carl Faberge made a number of decorated Eastet eggs for the tsats and their families. The most valuable of them is decorated with more than 3,000 diamonds. It was sold at Christie's, Geucva for $5.5 million.
