Diamond is one of the most expensive natural gifts. Just like gold, diamond is highly valued and mostly mined by the government of the place it was found. Rich people used diamonds as jewelry and outfits. Diamond is very scarce, it is found in a few places, and it usually serves as income for the locality or state it was deposited.
