"Trillions of Carats" of Diamonds Found Under Meteor Crater.

Yes this is in Russia, but no, it's not the recent Meteor that hit there. For this one, you have to go back. Back to the days of the troglodyte women...

35.7 Million years ago in any event:

The Russian government has revealed that a vast quantity of high-quality diamonds rests beneath a Siberian impact crater, numbering in the "trillions of carats".

The Popigai crater, 100km-wide and located in the isolated north of the country, was formed roughly 35.7 million years ago by the impact of an asteroid estimated to be between five and eight kilometres wide. Its collision created a wealth of impact diamonds -- which form when an existing diamond seam is hit by a large falling body -- in such quantities that could, it is claimed, supply the world diamond market for the next 3,000 years.
According to the Christian Science Monitor, Nikolai Pokhilenko, the director of the Novosibirsk Institute of Geology and Mineralogy, has said that these diamonds are "twice as hard" as normal diamonds, making them ideal for industrial and scientific use. He also claimed that the supply under Popigai is ten times the size of the rest of the world's reserves, potentially holding trillions of carats. A carat -- defined as 200mg -- is the standard measurement of weight for precious gems and minerals.

So, we got the world by the oil reserves and they have the world by the diamond mine.

Global warming isn't all bad... unless this happens in the middle of it all. Again.

Don't tell anybody but it's theorized that an Earth-sized diamond lies at the heart of Jupiter. For that matter, such a core can be found inside any gas giant planet of similar composition.

All we need to extract it is to steer a quantum black hole into close orbit then let gravity do the job of stripping off the outer planetary layers.

Then collapse the black hole without blinking our galaxy out of existence.

"Quantum" = less than stellar mass.

If you magnetize one, it can be steered away afterwards.

The science behind this is fairly straightforward but the technology isn't yet available.

Oh, is that all...

Why go to all that trouble just to make diamonds worthless?

For the same reason that if we ever discover oil on Io we'll descend on that sulfur-encrusted hell hole like a pack of starving mosquitoes.
