harvesting it from another planet You raise an interesting idea here. I wonder how difficult it would be to harvest diamond from a diamond planet. Diamond can be cleaved if you hit it at the correct angle [1] but if the entire planet is made of diamond then what would happen? Would a wrong cleave or heavy force shatter the planet into nothingness? Rather, I think the planet is made of many small (relative to an entire planet) sized diamonds embedded in dirt.
