Hard disagree: they exhibit 4 perfect octahedral cleavage planes in addition to their adamantine lustre, diamond is one of the most useful materials in existence, and their petrological origins speak to incredibly interesting conditions of formation! In fact, a mineral inclusion within a diamond gave us our first solid evidence of the existence of water at equilibrium with mantle rock at depth on Earth, which was previously largely discounted.
It’s also good for (at least some?) neurological neurotypical* people. I rarely connect with people romantically, but if a dude just wanted to show me cool rocks he’d found, I’d definitely be well on my way to falling to in love
*Autocorrect made me look like a douchebag! Sorry!

I would like to preface that I am not saying this to be judgemental and I’m not implying that anyone was hurt by it, but,
I’m not sure if you used “neurological” instead of “neurotypical” on purpose…? Because literally every creature with a brain is neurological.
And while I definitely used “neurodiverse” instead of “neurodivergent” on purpose because it feels nicer, implying that the opposite term is “neurological” might sound to some as though you are implying that neurodivergent/aneurotypical people have no neurological framework and I hesitate to jump to the conclusion that that’s actually what you meant.
“Hey look at this cool rock i found” is definitely a valid courting technique for neurodiverse persons :3
but USUALLY never diamonds.
That’s because diamonds are pretty boring. The only thing they have going for them is sparkling. There are SO many prettier gemstones out there.

But yeah, fuck De Beers.

That was an autocorrect error, I stg! Was supposed to be neurotypical!
Sorry!
No apologies necessary! I actually thought it was more likely that going on. I hope I did not come across as too confrontational!
Not at all! Let’s both agree autocorrect is real villain here haha
best I can do is two marbles and a stick
I mean, I’m not saying no. DMs definitely open :p
