THE BIG BLUE

A pure diamond is actually clear, as it simply transmits visible
light, and any colour it has is the result of impurities in the
crystal structure. The most common of these by far is nitrogen,
which results in a yellowish or brownish tinge in the diamond
and drastically reduces its value. |5.1.| The most desirable
impurity is boron, since that is the one which creates the blue
diamond.
The Cullinan Diamond Mine, established in 1902 as the
Premier Mine, is no stranger to record-breaking gems. 5.2.
It was cut into a number of gems, the largest of which is called
the First Star of Africa and adorns the sceptre of the British
Crown Jewels. The second largest adorns the crown, and is
called the Second Star of Africa. They are still the second and
fourth largest polished diamonds ever created.
Since then, the mine has proved again and again that it is a
premier source in the world for large stones, and unrivalled in
the quantity it uncovers of the fabled blue diamond. 5.3.
Recent record-breaking finds include the Star of Josephine,
sold for $9.49 million in 2008, and a 25.5 carat blue diamond
found in 2013, which sold for $16.9 million.
The one they just unearthed, however, could be the largest
flawless uncut blue diamond ever discovered. 5.4. Petra's
chief executive elaborated: ‘By some margin ... this is probably
the most significant stone we've ever, in terms of blue stones,
recovered.’ An analyst has estimated that it could attract bids
of between $15 and $20 million at auction and, with the nature
of bidding wars, it could go much higher.

NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS

For millions of people around the world the New Year
is a time to change something for the better, whether
it be to eat a healthier diet, spend more quality time
with family and friends, or to reconcile with someone
they have fallen out with. Unfortunately, and despite
all the good intentions, only a tiny percentage of
people ever manage to keep their New Year’s
resolutions. In fact, a recent study showed that just
8% of people achieve their New Year’s goals. This is
despite the fact that the nature of New Year’s
resolutions has changed during the last century, with
many resolutions being more superficial and selfish
than in previous times. Most revolve around changes
to the resolution-maker’s appearance, lifestyle and
career.
So, why do so many people fail to achieve their
resolutions and what are the secrets behind those
who succeed? According to some researchers, many
people use the New Year as an opportunity to attempt
massive makeovers in their private and professional
life and make a long list of resolutions. Now, although
that’s positive in itself, the average person has so
many competing priorities that this type of approach
is doomed to failure. Essentially, when you set your
sights so high you often doom yourself to failure right
from the outset.
