[Rockhounds] Article: Rain of Diamonds

[Jacob Linder]

Did you even read it?

I would love to hear exactly why you think the that? I actually read the
story and it says that they found a few specimen in one area that came from
another and they speculated that it was from an asteroid hitting, thus toss
debris from the ground it hit into the air, or from glacier melt.. Doesn't
seem all that "crazy"... It says nothing about "all" of them coming from a
comet.. That's just hyped nonsense trashtalk.

"New chemical analyses of diamond, gold and silver found in Ohio and Indiana
reveal the minerals were transported there from Canada several thousand
years ago. The question is, how? "
...
"The diamonds, gold and silver could have been ejected into the air during
the blasts, West said, or they could have been carried south by rivers
formed from the melt water of liquified glaciers. "
...
"We're a long way from saying categorically that these things got here
because of this event," West said. "They're consistent, but we've got a lot
more work to do to show there's a direct connection."

Have a good day.

I assume this theory was developed by those idiots sitting inside their
pyramids in Taos NM.
