and theoretically they should be flawless right?

I'm thinking more minimum quality vs perfect. Diamond lobbies will prabably make them have to be certified and have their methods logged and tested. More money required to get in the game. Stuff that comes out the ground can cost a lot to certify levels and labs can give very different ratings. Plus yeah, the conflict diamond thing too.

Makes more sense than paying the ridiculous prices for real. Especially when it's an artificial market with deBeers controlling what you pay for an otherwise less than 'rare' commodity from what I understand.

They make the point in the article that you can be sure it isn't a blood diamond also.
