Hey everyone --- I work with defects in diamond for my PhD! While they are
completely different from the chunks of ice described here, let me know if
there is something I can help with.

Ice is really a fascinating material generally, even just “normal” ice. My
thesis advisor has pretty much made a career out of studying it. I didn’t do
my material science work on ice personally though; he also studied high
temperature super alloys earlier in his career.

Diamonds are bullshit, but body adornment is a human universal that exists in
all cultures. So the diamond bullshit is hijacking something very real and
human.

You're totally right, but there are also a lot of'real' and 'human/animal'
traditions that we've collectively decided aren't worth continuing. I'd argue
this should be one of them, but I'm not bullish on my preference vs. diamond
advertising budget and a culture of perpetual consumerism.

Given how much pressure it's under, I wonder if it might cause the diamond to
explode if subjected to additional stress.

So is it still 'frozen' (it is ice afterall) even above 0c?

Yes, it is!
