I’m looking forward to a day when diamond surfaces can be made as cheaply as Gorilla Glass, and diamond jewelry as cheap as cubic zirconia.
Aluminum was once incredibly expensive to mine too, and now they’re ubiquitous and cheap, thanks to the invention of the Bayer process in the late 1800s.
I hope diamond goes the same way. At least it will stop the inhumane treatment of diamond mine workers.
