        Diamonds turn to coal under pressure? I thought it was the other way around. i.e. formed from coal under high pressure.

        The fact diamonds can burn is pretty crazy, but it makes sense since they’re mostly (entirely?) carbon.

        Edit: Sorry for ruining your otherwise perfect analogy :)

      Initially inflated and overwhelming, then completely ordinary with little value beyond how you feel about it.
