Diablo Canyon
1893

(The Arizona Desert)

prize-winning mineral-scientist
Henri Moissan
Excavates a colorless crystal
From the crash site
Of a
50 Thousand Year Old Comet

A gift from the stars

Moissan
(A prize-winning mineral-scientist)
devined
that the mineral was
Silicon Carbide

Like nothing found on earth!
Truly of the stars

Only
A diamond
could scratch it!

But

The Diablo Canyon Mineral
contained a greater glow!

The Diablo Diamond
was born.

Just Kidding

They named it
Moissanite

(After The Prize-winning Mineral-scientist)

Second Hardest mineral
”found” on earth

Grown in a lab
Just like they do with Diamonds
”These days”

Known to emit a
Superior Fiery Sparkle

It’s as easy to work with as a Diamond
Holds up as well as a Diamond
And costs less than a diamond

Named After it’s discoverer
(Unfortunately)

DIablo Diamond
(Damn fine Fake name)

Also

Arizonite
(Very stately)

prounced:
ARE-EYE-ZuN-ITE
( fake )

The Second choice after “Moissanite”
Was
”Tampa Bay Devil Rays”
(great team, terrible name)
