when i die, i want to be made into diamonds.

apparently our ashes can be used to make diamonds.

this company, LifeGem, takes the carbon from our ashes.
at least 250gms is needed to make high-quality diamonds.
the carbon is heated up at high heat until it turns into graphite.
the graphite is then 'pressed' until a large diamond crystal forms.
the whole process takes 18 weeks.

colour depends on the elements and impurities in the remains.
more than 50 one-carat diamonds can be made from one person.
a 0.20-carat diamond could cost US$2,499.
a 0.99-carat diamond could cost US$13,999.
*whoahhh*

*hmmzz* wonder how many diamonds i would make.
and what colour diamond i would be?
i hope i would be shinyy and sparklyy...
would i be special?
