                      Blue Diamonds are Real! Looking at these diamonds, it's hard to believe that they are real - and moreover, that they could be made in nature. As some of the most coveted colored diamonds, collectors around the world have been clamoring to add these gems to their collections for centuries.

                         Over 20 years ago, scientists developed a theoretical model which suggested that deep inside the earth's fiery mantle there lay a giant deposit of water. What's more, they suggested that this so-called inner ocean, said to exist 500 kilometers underneath the earth's surface was larger in volume that all known oceans combined.
