This is the thing that amazed me in the beginning and still does. I
still find it unbelievable that I can hold a piece of another world in
my hand. And sometimes I do just that. I hold it, I fondle it, I look
at it under a microscope, and i dream of the journey of billions of
years that it took to "land" in my lap. And when I go backpacking to
get away from it all, I put a little Canyon Diablo in my pocket for
"good luck". These gems are priceless and I pitty anyone who is just in
it for the money.
