There's an old sci-fi short story about a planet with diamond rains. I wish I could remember the name - Google is failing me right now. I think I read it in one of those yearly compilation books.
- AlphaWeaver 9y agoOne great place to identify stories is the Science Fiction and Fantasy StackExchange site. They have a tag specifically for story identification, and they're very good at finding stories, common and obscure alike. I'd suggest you check it out if you'd like to find out exactly what it was.
- tinfins 9y agoThank you, posted it. No luck so far, but someone linked me to another person asking the same question with a better description of the story. https://scifi.stackexchange.com/questions/168074/does-anyone-remember-the-name-of-an-old-short-story-set-on-a-planet-with-diamond https://scifi.stackexchange.com/questions/168074/does-anyone...
- omnibrain 9y agoIIRC there is a Heinlein Story about travel to the moon an diamonds found there.
- remarkEon 9y agoIs this a thing in Ringworld? Been a long while since I read that one but I seem to recall diamond rain in that one.
- tinfins 9y agoI don't remember that in Ringworld, but that was the first real sci-fi book I read! Still one of my favorites.
